Title: Tuna Patties

Ingredients:
– 2 cans of tuna, drained
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
– 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 egg
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, chopped celery, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

2. Using your hands, shape the tuna mixture into patties. The size of the patties is up to you, but aim for around 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.

3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tuna patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

4. Once the patties are cooked through and nicely browned on both sides, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

5. Serve the tuna patties hot with your favorite dipping sauce, a side salad, or on a bed of greens. These patties also work great as a sandwich filling or over a bowl of rice for a more substantial meal.

6. Enjoy your delicious homemade tuna patties!
