Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tins of chunk tuna in water (170g each)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 finely chopped medium-sized white onion
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 tsp concentrated lemon juice (bottled)
- 1/4 tsp coarse salt
- 1/4 cup dry unflavored breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- Dash Lemon Pepper
- Dash Aromat
Instructions
- Drain the water from the tuna.
- Finely chop the onions.
- In a bowl, mix all the ingredients with a fork.
- Divide the mixture into 5 equal portions, about ½ cup each.
- Shape patties and press by hand into ± 1-inch thickness.
- Cover a plate with some cooking spray and place patties on the plate and leave it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Place patties in a silicon air fryer container (3 and then 2 for the second batch) and lightly spray some cooking spray over the top of the patties. You can use oil if you prefer.
- Don’t overcrowd them, as you should be able to leave room to flip them over halfway.
- Air fry at 375 F for 15 minutes (depending on your own Air Fryer), flipping after about 7 minutes, approximately at the halfway mark.
Air fry until they have a nice brown and crispy top. - Take out the first batch, set them aside, and proceed with the rest until all the patties have been cooked.
- Serve immediately with some salad on the side.
