Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into patties, using about 1/4 cup of the mixture for each patty.
- Place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes. Dip each tuna patty into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally the breadcrumbs, coating evenly.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the tuna patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!

How to Store Leftovers
