Empty the tuna pouches in a large mixing bowl.
Next, combine tuna with garlic, onion, salt, pepper, lemon juice and zest, egg, ¼ cup of breadcrumbs, mayo, ½ cup of parmesan cheese and parsley. Mix well.
Combine remaining breadcrumbs and parmesan in a shallow dish.
Scoop ¼ cup of the tuna mixture and form into a patty. Lightly coat with breadcrumbs and parmesan. Continue until tuna mixture is gone.
Add 2 tbsp Olive oil to a pan and fry each patty until nicely browned on each side.
Remove from pan and let the cakes rest for 5 minutes.
Serve with arugula or other greens and an aioli if desired.
