Low Carb Waffled Tuna Cakes

by 34 Comments

These Keto & Low Carb Waffled Tuna Cakes are an inexpensive appetizer, side dish or meal. They’re loaded with Healthy Fats and Protein and can be thrown together in a few minutes with Items from your Pantry. I used Solid White Albacore Tuna, which is better quality but the recipe can be made with any canned tuna or salmon you have on hand.

How do you Make Low Carb Tuna Cakes in a Waffle Maker?

You’ll Love how easy these Keto Tuna Cakes are to make. First you drain the liquid off of the Tuna, then add it to a mixing bowl. Add the egg, garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, crushed pork rinds or bread crumbs, onion powder and salt and pepper. Mix until very well combined.

Then preheat your waffle iron. Use the melted butter to coat the hot iron, then divid the tuna mixture into 6. Place a ball of the the tuna mixture onto the centre of the greased iron. Cook until golden Brown. Serve with a side of Dill Pickle Dip and Lemon.

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When in ketosis, your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source.

On Keto, you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from Fat, 15 to 25 percent from Protein, and 10 percent from Carbohydrates. You should avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

I like making these Low Carb Waffled Tuna Cakes on a Hot Summer Day because the Waffle Iron doesn’t Heat up my House as much as using the Stove or Oven would. On really hot days, I’ve even plugged it in outside. It makes dinner time so easy and the best part is you’re family will absolutely love them. These crispy and satisfying fish cakes can be made ahead of time and then reheated in the oven or toaster oven. They can even be reheated in the waffle iron.

Are you looking for some more delicious Keto Recipes? You’re in luck! I have some of my families favourite recipes to share. Our absolute fav are these Keto Coconut Protein Pancakes. I love that they’re so easy and quick to make. Another one of our favourites, are these tasty Keto Strawberry French Toast Cups. They’re perfect for impressing brunch guests or for spoiling someone special.

Recipe Notes:

  • Almond or coconut flour can be used in place of the pork rinds if preferred. Just note that pork rinds don’t have any carbs. If using flour instead the carb count will go up.
  • The tuna cakes can be cooked in a frying pan or in the oven instead of the waffle iron.
  • The canned tuna can be switched out for canned chicken, crab or salmon.

Linguine with Smoked Salmon and Rosé Sauce

Linguine with Smoked Salmon and Rosé Sauce

 Linguine with Smoked Salmon and Rosé Sauce

I made this Gluten Free Linguine with Smoked Salmon and Rosé Sauce after finding Catelli Linguine Noodles at my local supermarket. I haven’t had Linguine for years and Gluten Free Catelli Noodles are my absolute favorite. They taste just as good as a regular noodles. You can’t have Smoked Salmon without the Capers. They’re absolutely perfect for this delicious Pasta. Making a Rosé Sauce is really simple, you add a little bit of Cream or Alfredo Sauce to your regular Tomato Sauce. Although it’s easy to make I often opt for buying it pre made. The Gluten Free brand that I usually use is Classico. It always tastes great and worked perfectly for this pasta.

Ingredients 

3 Tbsp Butter

1/2 of a Onion

8 – 10 White Mushrooms

1 Jar of Gluten Free Rosé Sauce

4 Tbsp Capers

1 Package of Smoked Salmon

1 Package of Gluten Free Linguine

2 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese

Directions 

1.In a large frying pan, melt 1 tbsp butter. Dice then add the onion. Slice the mushrooms, then add them to the pan. Let fry for 5 minutes.

2. Add the sauce, then the capers. Let simmer for another 5- 10 minutes. Add the smoked salmon to the pan and let simmer for approximately another 5 minutes.

3. Cook the linguine as directed on the package. Once it’s cooked and drained, toss it in the remaining butter. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese, then toss until well coated.

4. Serve the sauce over the pasta. Garnish with parsley.

 Cucumber Gravlax

I wasn’t expecting to like this simple 4 ingredient Cucumber Gravlax as much as I did.  Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese and Capers served on little pieces of french bread was one of my go to appetizer before going Gluten Free. I didn’t think Cucumber could ever compare to french bread but I was presently surprised. The Freshness of the Cucumber compliments the Smoked Salmon, Capers and Cream Cheese perfectly. I could eat the whole plate to myself they’re that good. They taste incredible and are incredibly simple. I prefer to use light cream cheese but you can use regular if you like it better.

This Cucumber Gravlax makes a great Gluten Free Appetizer for Game Day. It’s really easy to make with absolutely no cooking needing. It can be whipped up in a couple of minutes with very little effort. It’s a Healthier, Low Carb option that does Skimp on the Taste.

Check out this Easy Gluten Free Cream Cheese Taquito Recipe as well. It’s a simple Appetizer That can be thrown together quickly and will be sure  to please a crowd.
