Quick-Crisp Tuna Cakes
Quick-Crisp Tuna Cakes are golden on the outside with a tender, flaky center, brightened by lemon and savory Parmesan. Italian-seasoned crumbs add herby depth while onion brings a gentle bite. Serve them hot for a weeknight dinner, as party appetizers with a dipping sauce, or tucked into buns for a satisfying sandwich.
