Low Carb Tuna Melt Fritters (full recipe is on: HungryHappens.Net)

♬ original sound – Stella Drivas

These tuna melt fritters are such a great way to use up your canned tuna. I love Ortiz brand’s quality and eat this at least once a week. This recipe comes together in 15 minutes and tastes a lot like crab cakes.

Love that this is super low carb and delicious. You can use the combination of mayo and Sriracha sauce OR use mayo and mustard for a less spicy option. Old Bay seasoning would work great here! I love a little lemon with this so I paired it with my lemon aioli sauce. If you like these, you will love my Best Crab Cakes or my Spicy Salmon Croquettes!
