2 6-ounce cans tuna, drained

Here is the nutrition info that Linda provides - I have plugged in the recipe with my modifications, so in case you decide to make it exactly the same as Linda Sue, the carbs and cals are as follows:

Per 1/2 recipe: 455 Calories; 40g Fat; 42g Protein; 2g Carbohydrate; trace Dietary Fiber; 2g Net Carbs
Per 1/4 recipe: 228 Calories; 20g Fat; 21g Protein; 1g Carbohydrate; trace Dietary Fiber; 1g Net Carbs

My substitutions:
I used 1 stalk of finely diced celery instead of 1/2 teaspoon celery salt

I used 1-2 scallions thin sliced instead of 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

I used a very generous amount of lemon pepper & a couple of dashes of Old Bay instead of 1/2 teaspoon pepper

I left out the 2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded

I used some butter but only enough to grease the pan, that was plenty to give good crisp and great flavor - no way did these need 2 tablespoons oil and/or butter.

I probably doubled the 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (just kept adding until consistency was more solid)

I added a LOT of fresh Italian parsley - several tablespoons chopped, at least. This was not in Linda Sue's recipe, but I thought it made a huge difference in appearance and taste.


How Do I Make Tuna "Crab" Cakes - Low Carb, Gluten Free?

Here is how you make Tuna "Crab" Cakes - Low Carb, Gluten Free:

Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl; chill at least 30 minutes. Heat the oil and a little butter in a large skillet on about medium heat. Drop the tuna mixture by large spoonfuls into the hot oil. Flatten slightly and shape into patties. Fry about 3-4 minutes on each side until well-browned. Flip them very gently and brown the other side. Serve with garlic aioli, tartar Sauce or sauce of your choice. Goes very well with the microwave flax sandwich roll I have listed. These can also be made in the oven; broil on low until brown, flip and broil again for a minute or two. Touch to make sure they are done (Burgers will be firm but have some give when finished cooking.)Makes 4 servings Can be frozenNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user REBECCAFRIEDMAN.
