Tuna Cakes

These taste remarkably like crab cakes. Easy and delicious!

3 cans tuna
1 lg. egg
1/2 C. cilantro
1/3 C. bread crumbs
2 T. lt. mayo
1 T. fresh lemon juice (can substitute mayo & lemon for lemonnaise if you're lucky enough to have some on hand)
1 jalapeno, seeds removed
1 T. olive oil (for frying)

In a large bowl, stir together tuna, egg, cilantro, bread crumbs, mayo, lemon, and jalapeno. Mix gently until ingredients just hold together. Using a packed 1/3 C. measure of tuna mixture per patty, shape into 8 cakes.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Cook cakes until golden brown and crisp on outside, about 2 min. per side. Serve hot with cocktail sauce or salsa. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
