    • Finely chop onion and measure 1/4 cup, add to the bowl

    • Mix all ingredients gently but thoroughly until evenly combined
    • Form the mixture into evenly sized patties, about 2 inches in diameter
    • Place formed patties onto a plate or tray
    • Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat
    • When the oil is hot, gently add the patties to the pan, without overcrowding
    • Fry the patties for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp
    • Remove cooked patties and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil
    • Serve the tuna fish cakes hot with fresh lemon wedges and a side salad, or atop a bed of mixed greens for a light meal
