Pesto Tuna Fish Patties
These Pesto Tuna Fish Patties are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The patties are cooked and served in 30 minutes, making them super easy for a quick weeknight dinner. I love to make these when I need a quick meatless meal. Pesto tuna fish patties are a fantastic way to elevate a simple pantry staple into a flavorful and healthy meal.
