Instructions for frying the tuna patties:

  1. In a medium bowl stir to combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, egg, salt, pepper and parsley. 

  2. Add the drained tuna and breadcrumbs to the bowl and stir to combine. 

  3. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
