Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can mackerel in brine, drained
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 (5 ounce) can tuna packed in water, drained
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons salt-free seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash®)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried sweet basil
  • 1 (3.5 ounce) bag pork rinds, crushed
  • butter-flavored cooking spray

Directions

Step 1
Mix mackerel, onion, tuna, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, eggs, Dijon mustard, seasoning blend, paprika, and basil together in a bowl. Add pork rind crumbs, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, until mixture holds together. Form mixture into balls and flatten into 1/2-inch-thick cakes.

Step 2
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and grease with cooking spray. Arrange cakes in the hot skillet and spray each cake with cooking spray.

Step 3
Cook cakes, working in batches if needed, in the hot skillet until browned, 3 to 5 minutes; gently flatten cakes with the back of a fork. Flip cakes and cook until other side is browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer cakes to a paper towel-lined plate.

Cook’s Note:

You can use any seasoning that you have on hand and increase or decrease the amounts to suit your tastes.
