Tuna patties, also known as tuna cakes, have a rich history dating back to the Mediterranean region, where they were a staple in coastal cuisine. The dish has since evolved and gained popularity worldwide, with various regional adaptations. Chefs in coastal regions like Italy and Greece have perfected the art of crafting these savory patties, infusing them with local herbs and spices for a burst of flavor. Today, the best version of this dish can be found in seafood restaurants along the Mediterranean coast, where the freshest tuna is used to create the perfect patty. Serving them on a bed of mixed greens adds a refreshing contrast to the rich, savory flavors of the tuna patties. The key to getting this dish right lies in using high-quality, fresh tuna and incorporating the right blend of herbs and seasonings. For a unique twist, some chefs also add a hint of citrus to the mixed greens for a zesty kick. Whether enjoyed at a seaside restaurant or homemade, tuna patties on a bed of mixed greens are a delightful and satisfying dish that captures the essence of coastal cuisine.
