Mix all these together in a bowl:
one 6 ounce can of tuna fish, drained (I used premium solid white albacore in water)
1 beaten egg
~4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
a couple teaspoons of chopped scallions/green onions
powdered garlic, powdered onion, Mrs. Dash-type salt free original seasoning blend, a few light sprinkles of each
Pour a little olive oil in a nonstick pan, and heat over a high flame. Form the mixture into two 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick cakes and put them into the pan when the oil is sufficiently hot. Turn the flame down to medium, cook until golden brown on each side. Flip them only one time
Sauce: I mixed a little ground chipotle into some ranch dressing, and added some 2% milk to thin it out. With enough of the chipotle it should be a nice reddish-pink, not too pale. It should have a subtle spiciness.
Put the cooked cakes onto a plate, drizzle the sauce over it (don't drown it), garnish with some of the green onion cut into thin strips lengthwise, and serve with lime wedges. Great when sprinkled with lime juice.
As I figured it from product labels and stuff, this has about 500 calories total (depending on how much oil you use to cook them). The only bad fat in it comes from the egg's yolk (which you can omit if you want) and the dressing, but you can use low fat or whatever.
I just figured this recipe out today as a variation on a recipe on the Body-for-Life website (which was just tuna, egg, and broken up pretzels mixed togeth and sauteed. ew.). It might be good for Rorschach's bachelor food thread, but I think it deserves a thread of its own.
