This is definitely an easy recipe. I have very little cooking skills and this came out as I expected. The reason for 3 stars is that it is very bland. It definitely needs some form of spicing.

Quick and easy but needs some seasonings or it comes out a bit bland.

Yes, very simple and easy to put together. It seemed like it would be way too much bread at first, but it wasn't I did throw the torn bread into the food processor to break it up more, just a prefrence. I used tuna and added salt, pepper, dill and some honey mustard. They held up better than any fishcake/tuna burger recipe I've used before. It was easy to form the patties and I could flip them without having them fall apart, which is what usually happens. Yummy too. Even the one year old liked it. I liked that they don't have a huge "fishy" taste.We ate ours as is, because I didn't want to make sandwiches as there was already so much bread, but I think they would definately work well on a sandwich with cheese and other toppings.

I LOVED this recipe - after I livened it up a bit! Here what I did: I mixed the tuna with the egg, salt, pepper, golden raisins, yellow mustard, and tartar sauce (if I had had mayonnaise and relish I would have used these instead). I think cooked, thin apple slices would be great to add, too. I used panko bread crumbs, which made it extra crunchy. To the sandwich I added dijon mustard on one slice, tartar sauce on the opposite slice. Tucked into the (rye bread) sandwich were: sliced avocado, tomato, and lightly cooked spinach and arugula (I put the spinach and arugula on the pan for 5 seconds). After I flipped the tuna cakes, I added cheddar cheese to the top, covered the pan with a lid, and let it melt! Overall it made a very hearty, flavorful sandwich. Just use whatever ingredients you have that you think would be good! This recipe has a lot of potential.

What an easy, quick and TASTY supper! I made the salmon version. I served with some rice and steamed broccoli. Pretty simple for after a hard day at work. Reminded me of my mom's salmon loaf without all the mixing and baking time! Made for My-3-Chef's 2008.
