Tips & Tricks (5)
- Drain and Dry Your Tuna 💧After opening the canned tuna, drain it thoroughly and gently squeeze it in paper towels to remove excess moisture, preventing soggy cakes and ensuring they hold together properly during cooking.
- Chill the Mixture Before Forming 🧊Refrigerate your tuna mixture for at least 15 minutes before shaping into cakes; this helps them hold their shape better during pan-frying and prevents them from falling apart.
- Make Aioli with Greek Yogurt Base 🥄Use Greek yogurt as your aioli base instead of all mayonnaise for a creamier texture with tanginess that complements the tuna without being overly heavy or rich.
- Toast Panko for Extra Crunch 🍞Lightly toast your panko bread crumbs in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing them in to add a deeper, nuttier flavor and superior crispiness to the cakes' exterior.
- Mince Garlic Fresh and Fine ✨Mince fresh garlic finely for the aioli just before using and let it sit in the lemon juice for 2-3 minutes to mellow slightly while infusing the dressing with aromatic flavor.
