Drain the tuna and place it in a mixing bowl.

Add chopped onion, capers, parsley, and minced garlic to the bowl.

Mix in lemon juice, chopped tomatoes, and spices until well combined.

Tear the bread into small pieces and soak in water briefly, then squeeze out excess moisture.

Add the soaked bread to the tuna mixture and combine thoroughly.

Form the mixture into patties or fritters.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Transfer the fritters to a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.

Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley and lemon wedges.
