In a bowl, combine 1 cup of Italian breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs.

Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon parsley flakes to the bowl.

Add the chopped onion, celery, and green onion to the tuna mixture and mix well.

Crack 2 large eggs into the mixture and mix until combined.

Add the breadcrumb mixture to the tuna mixture and mix until it forms a cohesive mixture.

Take a portion of the mixture and form it into a patty, shaping it like a meatball first and then flattening it out.

Carefully place the patties in the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary.

Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
