     I found this recipe last week and have made it twice - my husband and I love them - I nixed the flax seed, added 1 tbsp parsley and 1 tbsp chopped green onions. I also baked them instead of frying for 10 mins at 350 degrees....so good, so cheap, I will be making these again and again. - 3/5/12

     I made these and added onion, celery and black pepper. Also used egg substitute.Instead of mayo I used 1/2 Tbsp. Miracle Whip Light and 1/2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard. So yummy and healthy. I'm going to try it with canned salmon next time. - 3/26/09

     WOW!! this is so good. This is so quick to make. I did not have flaxmeal so I left it out and it still turned out wonderful. I didn't fry in oil; I just grilled on my non-stick griddle which I use for everything. 2 patties will fill you up. Perfect on a bed of lettuce with some vinigarette. - 2/21/10

     The thought of cooking a tuna patty made with mayonaise was a strange thought to me but I was attracted by the nutrional info and so gave it a try. Baked it rather than fried it, used egg substitute and nonfat cheese and it was quite tasty! Thank you! - 5/18/09

    I'm glad you liked them. :) I never thought about baking them. What temperature, and how long?

     I just made these. Used 1 egg white and used 1 Tbsp of Nonfat Greek Yogurt instead of the mayo. Only 1 Tbsp of flax meal Very yummy. I will definitely make these again!!! - 2/9/11

     I used sharp cheddar cheese instead of parmesan. Other than that I made the recipe as stated and it was delicious! I would serve these to company they are that good! - 8/29/11

     The thing I like the best about these is the texture. When I was mixing them I was worried they might be runny but once they'd cooked on each side I was pleasantly surprised how they firmed up! The flavor was little bland compared to how I usually cook but that is easily fixed. Great base recipe! - 4/13/09

     Just made this for my dad as a light meal while he's painting. He didn't want to eat it so quickly, but his brushes were drying. :) I added Ground Mustard, used ground cheese, added some Cayene Pepper, regular pepper, very thinly diced green pepper, and subbed the flaxmeal with oat bran. Very good! - 6/1/10

     Love it! I switched the flax to italian bread crumbs and I added some cayanne pepper! - 4/29/10

     I didn't think these would turn out very good once I mixed the ingredients, but they were amazing! I'm making them for a get-together tonight!!! - 4/8/09

     Very good!!! Added a whole wheat wrap and some lettuce and made a great sandwich! Very filling, but could really go for another one!! =) - 3/27/09

     This was SO yummy! I had it on a bed of lettuce with red wine balsamic dressing..... delish!!! - 8/17/09
  • GEORGEC77
     These were so quick, easy and so yummy. I used light miracle whip and a little chopped onion in mine. I will be making these alot. - 4/29/09
  • ABEHRENT
     I thought this was delicious! I don't have flax meal, so I used 2 Tbls of Panko bread crumbs, but I'm still considering it a low-carb meal. I also left out the salt and added some creole seasoning to give it a little kick. It's a nice change of pace for canned tuna! - 7/25/12
  • CARTERFONE
     Sounds great....I would use lemon juice rather than the salt. - 10/19/10
  • MEWAJES
     This will a great lunch item. I like cooked tuna, my husband does not. It will be a great lunch, when he is not home.
    Thanks - 4/29/10
  • HEARTMEND
     I used this as a filling for whole wheat tortillas, which I baked at 350 for 20 minutes. No leftovers :). - 4/3/10

     I am enjoying these as I write! They are fantastic! The only difference I did was not use the mayo, I was out! So I added in an extra egg white. I also like spicier food, so I had a heavier hand on the onion and garlic powders. Next time, I'm going to try using fresh and baking them! - 7/11/09
  • KATRINALAFOND
     These are great! They're a bit bland, but that can be fixed. I hadn't thought of baking them, but I'm going to to try that after seeing it in other rvws-much easier, & I can more at a time. They freeze well-I had 1 for lunch today & it heated up well. 1 is plenty for lunch. A keeper. - 7/31/17
  • AKROXIE
     So good-can't wait to make again! Per other members suggestions, used NF greek yogurt instead of mayo & breadcrumbs instead of flaxmeal. Added parsley and baked them for 10 min @350, turned over, then 5 minutes more. Be sure to spray the baking sheet or it will stick. - 7/13/17
  • MARGOB111
     These were good. Next time I make it I will spice it up a bit. I left out the flaxseed since I can't eat it but otherwise followed recipe and pan fried with a little avocado oil. Willmake again. - 6/24/17
  • SRIVERS1
     It was very good. Baked mine also at 350 degrees. Added pinch of sea salt, parsley, chopped sweet onion and thyme. The family really loved it. - 6/23/17
  • DIS5150
     Didn't have the flax so used a little almond flour instead. Yummy! I used cooking spray and they stuck to my non-stick pan so next time I will use the oil. Will definately make this again. A nice switch from my "tuna mixed w/may" normal lunch on Atkins! :) - 8/10/11
