Keto Tuna Cakes
Crab cakes are delicious to eat, but not everyone likes shellfish! Tuna cakes are an equally delicious alternative that’s leaner and healthier to enjoy. The cakes are moist on the inside with a slightly crispy exterior. If you want to increase your lunch portion, cook these tuna cakes to top a salad or to enjoy alongside some of your favorite keto side dishes!

My first meal cooked on my new keto program and I can honestly say it was bloody gorgeous (even though I made it). I was however quite upset that my 65yo wife didn't run round yelling to everyone I was a god in the kitchen, but hey ho 😉

No one doing a Keto diet should be using "light" mayonnaise. Fat is NOT a problem in the Keto space. Carbs and sugars ARE. I have never found a lite Mayo that didn't add sugar to compensate for the removal of "fats"... And, unless you are buying more expensive ONLY Avocado oil (or olive oil) mayo, or making it from scratch, you are using commercial mayo that is made with highly inflammatory seed oils. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

Seed oils arent bad for you stop spreading fear and misinformation and people buy what they can afford and what they like, you do you and let people do them

Do you understand the science behind seed oils? Ill answer that for you. You dont. Get off instagram and touch grass.

No light mayo for sure. Keto goes full fat.

Lots of people said it was wet, but I found mine to be dry. Will definitely make this again with perhaps a little more mayo next time.

I put a tbsp of almond flour as a binder cause I saw it wasn't gonna hold together.

I put almond flour in mine and they turn out to be a perfect consistency.

I really liked it, I didn't have dill so I minced a pickle & added the 2 Tbs. Instead after mixing all the ingredients I put it in a colander and pressed it again to release all the liquid again then form the patties and fried them and they turned out pretty good considering that I don't really eat fish but I will make this recipe again.

It’s okay.. maybe it’s just a texture thing for me.. where it’s nice and crispy on the outside but like “soggy” on the inside… which I had like a sauce or something I could lightly frizzle ontop.. tartar sauce would be lovely if it was allowed lol

Simple ingredients, quick to make, quick to cook. Delicious. I will definitely make again. For others claiming the mixture is too wet, make sure you drain the tuna well.

Perfect. Thank you.

Very tasty! It did look a little loose so I added 1/2 tsp coconut flour and let it sit about five minutes to tighten up a little before I cooked the patties. Served them over garden fresh sliced tomatoes (my own garden) and dusted them with a little Cajun spice seasoning!

Going to try. When younger My grandmother used to make salmon cakes and biscuits and pour molasses on my plate. Great memories, she used eggs onions and other ingredients, but did not add mayo and then she would flour them and that is what made the crispy outside I'm going to use some almond flour. Skipping mayo, I know it's for the fat but rather not have a sloppy wet tuna cake, LOL. I'll let you know how it turns out

You could pulverize some nuts to make your own flour for a coating before frying. Crispy! I've made for frying chicken.

Haven’t tried it yet, and I will be using regular mayo and some Parmesan cheese. But my question is, Why is everyone so keen on Low-fat substitutes, when Keto requires us to stay with the “real” fat products? There seems to be some counterproductive “fat is the enemy” thinking out there!

I rarely eat something different but these look good to try. I use HWC in my ice cream daily so don't need more fat. I would just cut the coconut oil & just use a tad of the real mayonnaise 😺

Must be less calories

I agree...let's stay real and clean Keto!

I believe some of the caution is because keto can be hard on the gallbladder.

I agree with others it is a very wet recipe. I added Parmesan to dry it up. It turned out pretty good. Very filling. Good lunch. Would be great on a bed of greens with ranch. I didn’t have the salad at this time but next time I will.

Same recipe I have been using for years. I did add 1/4 cup almond flour to bind with instead of my old standby of wheat flour. Hubby asked for them again lol.

I like the idea of adding almond flour to add texture. Will try that this week. Thanks for the review.
