- 3 x 5-ounce tins of Tuna in Springwater
- ⅓ cup of Fresh Herbs. We used a mixture of chives and parsley

- 2 tablespoons of Low Carb Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons of Lemon Zest
- 1 teaspoon of Dried Minced Onion
- 2 large Eggs
- ½ teaspoon of Salt
- ¼ teaspoon of Pepper, ground

How to Make Keto Tuna Cakes
- Drain the tuna well. You should end up with about 280g/10 ounces of tuna.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients except the oil. Mix well. The mixture will be moist but hold together when you make a ball.
- Place a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Drop quarter cup-sized dollops into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side. You should get eight tuna cakes.
- Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dollop of Low Carb Mayonnaise or Keto Garlic Aioli.
