Healthy Tuna Cakes

Canned tuna is a great way to meet the fish quota for the week- you know… the fish twice a week quota. Everyone has some canned tuna in their house somewhere. These healthy tuna cakes are an easy to make crowd pleaser. You can serve them as an appetizer, as part of a meal, on top of a salad, or on their own with a dipping sauce.

Traditional crab or tuna cakes are fried; this version is baked. In addition to the added veggies there are garbonzo beans in this. Typically crab or tuna cakes are filled with flour or mashed potatoes. By switching those out for pulverized garbonzo beans we can add fiber. If you don’t have canned tuna, canned salmon or crab would be great also.
