Instructions

    1.
    Drain the liquid thoroughly from the canned tuna. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, one large egg, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (for a touch of spice), onion powder, paprika, finely chopped fresh parsley, and finely chopped fresh dill.
    2.
    In a shallow skillet (cast iron preferred), heat coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Divide the prepared tuna mixture in half. Using your hands, gently form two round patties, each approximately ¾-inch in thickness. Ensure the patties are compact but not overly dense.
    3.
    Carefully place the formed tuna patties into the preheated coconut oil in the skillet. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until the patties are golden brown and heated completely through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Serve hot and enjoy!
