How to Make Tuna Fish Cakes

  1. Preheat your skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick spray.
  2. In a blender, combine 1 cup Fiber One cereal and your favorite seasonings (1 tsp black pepper, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp salt, etc.). Blend until you achieve a breadcrumb-like consistency.
  3. Divide the breadcrumbs in half. Place one half in a shallow dish and the other half in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Add 1 (5 ounce) can of tuna (drained), 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped celery, and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard to the mixing bowl with the breadcrumbs.
  5. Gently stir all ingredients until well combined.
  6. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Shape the tuna mixture into 8 equal-sized mounds on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Let the fish cakes rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  8. Carefully coat each fish cake in the reserved breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly covered.
  9. Place the coated fish cakes in the preheated skillet. Cook for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
