Air Fryer Tuna Patties

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

These bright and savory air-fryer tuna patties won't disappoint for a quick lunch or dinner. They hold their shape nicely while cooking, with a tender middle and a crispy crust on the outside. Peppery arugula and a lemony mayonnaise sauce round out the meal.

Ingredients:
  • 2 (5 ounce) cans solid white tuna in water, drained and flaked
  • ¾ cup whole-wheat panko
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 7 tablespoons mayonnaise, divided
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided
  • 1 ½ teaspoons grated lemon zest, divided
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
  • cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 4 cups arugula (about 4 ounces)
Directions:
  1. Place tuna, panko, onion, bell pepper, celery, egg, 4 tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir gently to combine. Shape the mixture into 8 patties 2 1/2 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick (about 1/3 cup mixture per patty). Place the patties on a parchment-paper-lined plate and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat an air fryer to 360°F for 15 minutes. Lightly coat the fry basket with cooking spray and coat each patty with cooking spray. Working in batches if needed, add the patties to the basket in a single layer; cook until slightly crisp and heated through, about 6 minutes per side. (Lightly coat the basket with cooking spray between batches.)
  3. Meanwhile, combine mustard and the remaining 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon parsley, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Place 2 tuna patties, 1 cup arugula and 1 tablespoon mayonnaise sauce on each of 4 plates.
