Tuna patties & salmon patties

Tuna Patties & Salmon Patties ☺️ (SERIOUSLY YUM) Using the same recipe (no need to over complicate things) just switching out the protein source! This was my Monday meal prep to ensure I have something to grab through out the week to add to my salads as a delicious protein addition with zero cooking efforts!

I made two different types because firstly, I think it’s really important to get variety in your diet but also to ensure you don’t over consume the same animal protein.. especially as tuna should be consumed mindfully due to the associated mercury levels (I aim for 1-2 times per week!).
These are absolutely PERFECT for storing in the fridge for the week or double batching and keeping in the freezer to grab with you need a delicious protein top up!

Recipe:

+ 2 tins of spring water tuna drained (total of 180 grams) OR 1 larger tin (210 grams) of red salmon drained (be sure to keep the soft bones in there, they are packed with calcium!!)
+ 1/2 cup oat flour (wizz up your rolled oats in a blender for 20 seconds until it becomes a flour like consistency)
+ 1/4 tsp minced Garlic
+ a generous shake of salt (about 1/2 tsp)
+ 1 Tbs lemon juice
+ 1 egg
+ 1 heaped Tbs of finely chopped parsley
+ 1 heaped Tbs of finely chopped shallots
+ 1/4 cup grated carrot (I then squeeze it in my hands to get rid of excess liquid)
+ 1/4 finely chopped onion

+ Mix everything in a bowl together and form into balls
+ I lightly fried mine this time but have also baked it before with some olive oil spray on top for crispness. Do whatever you prefer! Each side needs about 7 minutes or so to crisp well

I recommend making both whilst your at it, double the ingredients and halve the ingredients into two seperate big bowls adding tuna in one and salmon to the other. It saves times later and means your set for the week!!
