Tuna Fishcakes with Garlic Aioli
Ever since I saw Gordon Ramsay, a notoriously outspoken TV chef, opened a can of tuna to make his tuna fishcakes, I became more friendly with canned tuna! Tuna fishcakes with garlic aioli recipe are simple to make especially with canned tuna. I made this with almond meal but you can easily substitute it with breadcrumbs. I can’t tell you exactly how many times I’ve made this. I’ve become totally, helplessly addicted to these fishcakes! I used to pan fry these cakes but baking is much simpler, faster, and healthier. You’ll use much less oil when baking. Garlic Aioli Dip is not optional here. You have to absolutely make this dip with your tuna cakes. I promise it will never fail to satisfy your taste buds.

Notes
TIPS 1. Use canned tuna in olive oil. It has better taste than the one in water. 2. If you don't have Gruyere cheese, just use all mozzarella or any other hard cheese you have available. 3. Substitute 1 cup of almond meal to 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs. 4. For thinner, drippy garlic aioli like my picture above, use 1/2 cup of mayo. For thicker dip, use up 3/4 cup of mayo. 5. For faster, healthier way, bake instead of pan frying. 6. I have to say it again, Garlic Aioli is not optional.
