Tuna Cakes

This is great for a light lunch or anytime.

2 cans chunk light tuna drained
1 egg beaten
1/4 c. diced onion
1/8 c. bread crumb
Lemon zest
1/8 - 1/4 tsp each: salt, pepper, fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic crushed and diced
1 - 2 T oil 

Peel, rinse, cut onion and garlic. 

Zest and juice lemon. 

Open cans of tuna and drain into a strainer. With clean hands squeeze tuna dry if needed.

 Place tuna in a clean bowl.  Add onions, garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice and zest. 

 Add egg and mix with a fork. 

With clean hands, form tuna mixture into 6 patties. 

Heat pan to medium high heat.

Lower heat to medium and add oil.

 Place patties in pan and cook for 3 - 5 min on one side.

Flip patties over and cook on other side for an additional 3 - 5 min or until done. 

Serves 2.

Pear And Bleu Cheese Salad™

1 medium head romaine lettuce, torn
1 - 2 c each; chopped cucumber, chopped red onion

1 pear, sliced
1 - 2 oz each: bleu cheese chopped, sliced almonds

Rinse lettuce under water. Pat dry with clean dish towel, set aside. You can even use a salad spinner to dry lettuce, if desired. 

Chop vegetables, pear and blue cheese. 

Combine lettuce, pears and vegetables into a salad bowl.

Sprinkle cheese on salad. Toss well.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Serves 4- 6. 

Fish In Foil™

This is perfect for summer or anytime.

I used a broiler, but this is also great on the grill. I've also used salmon but you can use what fish you prefer.


4 salmon fillets
1/4 c. dry white wine
1 c. each: bell pepper, onions, tomatoes chopped
1 - 2 cloves fresh garlic, chopped
1/4 tsp. each: salt, pepper, dried or fresh parsley
1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
Lemon zest
1/2 c. green onions
1/8 c. olive oil


Remove fish from freezer and thaw if needed.

Preheat broiler or grill. 

Cut enough aluminum foil into 4 rectangles, to envelope fish and vegetables. 

Peel, rinse, chop, onion and garlic.

Rinse, seed, chop pepper.

Rinse, chop tomatoes and green onions. 

Place fish on the foil pieces. 

Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper, add vegetables, garlic and parsley.

Drizzle a little oil over fish and veggies.

Fold foil so that nothing falls out of packets. Before sealing packets, add wine and squeeze lemon over fish. 

Seal packets so that nothing falls out and place on a baking sheet.  Place baking sheet in oven and broil for 12 - 15 min or until done. 

 Remove packets from broiler or grill. 

Be careful, they're hot, let cool a few minutes before serving. 

Open and enjoy.
