🥚 Gordon Ramsay Tuna Cakes Ingredients
- 3 5-ounce cans of tuna
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- 1 green onion, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup plain panko or coarse breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, for cooking
🧆 How To Make Gordon Ramsay Tuna Cakes
- Remove any large chunks of tuna from the water and use a fork to break it up into smaller pieces.
- Combine the onion, parsley, Old Bay, garlic powder, kosher salt, panko, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and eggs in a medium bowl.
- Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup to divide the dough into eight equal portions, and then shape each into a patty using your hands.
- For a firmer texture, refrigerate the patties for at least 15 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
- In a skillet set over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil when you’re ready to cook.
- Pour in the patties and sear them for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they start to take on a little browning.
- Carefully transfer them to the other side of the pan and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes, or until they are lightly browned as well.
- Since the pan will be hotter for the second batch (exactly like pancakes!), you’ll need to adjust the heat accordingly.
- Accompany with a sauce (such as remoulade, tartar sauce, Caesar dressing, or Parmesan dressing) and serve right away.
