Flaxseed meal serves as a binding agent with added fiber.

Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat.

In a bowl, combine 3 cans of drained tuna, 3 eggs, finely chopped onion, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Mix everything together well until fully combined, ensuring no large streaks of egg white remain.

Once mixed, divide the tuna cake mixture into large scoops and place them directly into the hot cast iron skillet.

Shape the mixture into cakes or patties using a fork or spoon.

Cook the patties for a few minutes until golden brown, then flip and repeat the process on the other side.

Once cooked, transfer the tuna cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess oil.

Serve with a side of vegetables or tartar sauce.
