Ingredients

2 cans (5-6 oz each) tuna in water, drained
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions or green onions
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil (for cooking)

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, almond flour, parsley, scallions, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to break up any large chunks of tuna and ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the lightly beaten egg to the tuna mixture and mix well to combine.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the tuna patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the tuna patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the tuna patties with a side of mixed greens or your favorite low-carb vegetables.
