Tuna Cornbread Cakes

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I’ve been attempting to add some seafood to my family’s diet, and these little tuna cakes looked so appealing, that I tried them. We were not disappointed as they turned out so good.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 8.5oz. box Jiffy cornbread mix (you will only use 2 cups, crumbled)
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 2.6oz. aluminum foil pouches of tuna, drained (or original recipe uses herb & garlic flavored)
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 Tablespoons oil

Mix and bake your cornbread according to package directions, and while it’s cooling, mix together mayonnaise, onions, eggs, parsley, Old Bay seasoning and Worcestershire sauce.

 

Crumble enough of your baked cornbread to equal 2 cups.

Stir the cornbread and drained tuna into the mayonnaise mixture.

Make into eight 3 1/2 inch patties and fry in your melted butter and oil mixture, over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

When they are finished cooking, let them drain on paper towels. Now, we ate these served plain with soup on the side, but My Recipes included a Lemon Aioli recipe that looks easy and scrumptious if you want to try it.
