Guidelines
- Grate the zucchini and wrap it in a fresh kitchen towel to prepare it. Remove as much liquid as you can to make sure the patties stay together.
- Combine the patties: Grated zucchini, drained tuna, oats, shredded cheese, egg, onion powder, dill, and freshly ground pepper should all be combined in a big dish.
- Create the Patties: Shape the mixture into little patties with a diameter of two to three inches using your hands.
- Prepare the patties: A nonstick skillet should be heated to medium heat. Grease the skillet with a little amount of oil. Cook the patties on the grill for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a golden brown hue.
- To make the Lemon Yogurt Sauce, place the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, and garlic salt in a small dish and stir until thoroughly blended and smooth.
- Serving suggestion: Present the warm zucchini tuna patties with the lemon yogurt sauce. If desired, garnish with more dill and serve with slices of lemon.
