How to Make Asian Inspired Tuna Cakes

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, gently combine 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna (drained), 1 large egg, 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion, 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
3. Form the tuna mixture into 4-6 patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Refrigerate the patties for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
5. While the patties chill, prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper, and a few drops of Tabasco sauce (to taste).
6. Bake the tuna cakes for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
8. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
