I love warm protein on salads, ie. grilled chicken breasts. This was a great alternative! I have always been a fan of salmon patties, or croquettes, or whatever you call them. Today, I had an abundance of canned tuna in the pantry, so I decided to see if the same goodness could be achieved with a different fish. Here's my recipe:
2 (5 oz) cans of tuna packed in water, drained
1 slice of whole wheat bread, toasted and crumbled (I used the processor)
1 egg, beaten
Olive oil
Add bread crumbs and beaten egg to drained tuna. Mix well. Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Form 3 patties/croquettes/whatever, slightly squeezing any excess water out. Place tuna into pan and fry on each side 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
I put my tuna onto salad greens and added a few tablespoons of balsamic vinaigrette. Protein + veggies= Healthy & Yummy. Bon Appétit!
