Hawaiian Tuna Cakes with Pineapple Habanero Salsa

October 18, 2017 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

I am so excited to partner with Blue Harbor Fish Co to bring you this amazing recipe. While this post is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

With the holidays fast approaching and fall tailgating in full force, it can be difficult to always make good choices when it comes to food. One thing I try to do is make sure, anytime I am serving food, I include at least one clean-eating focused recipe for my guests (and me!) to enjoy. Hawaiian tuna cakes with pineapple habanero salsa is a great option for this and I love making them for parties or just a light dinner.

For these Hawaiian tuna cakes, I use Blue Harbor Fish Co. wild Albacore tuna. I typically use the sea salt flavor because I like the little bit of salt already added but, the no salt added is great, too, because then you have more control over the amount of salt in a recipe. Blue Harbor pouches combine sustainably-caught, wild Albacore tuna, water and a touch of sea salt (or no salt added if you choose) to let the fresh flavor of tuna shine through. Plus, Blue Harbor comes from Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified fisheries to help maintain the sustainability of the world’s fish stocks.

Ingredients for Hawaiian Tuna Cakes with Pineapple Habanero Salsa:

1 Tbsp avocado or coconut oil
Tuna Cakes:
15 oz Blue Harbor wild Albacore tuna
2 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 egg yolk
½ Tbsp pineapple juice
¼ cup whole wheat bread crumbs
2 Tbsp diced red bell pepper
Salsa:
½ cup diced, fresh pineapple
¼ cup diced cucumber
1 Tbsp diced red onion
1 habanero pepper, seeded and minced
2 Tbsp chopped cilantro
½ Tbsp fresh lime juice
Pinch of salt

Let’s Make It:

1. In a large bowl, combine tuna, yogurt, egg yolk, pineapple juice, bread crumbs and bell pepper. Stir to combine. Form into small cakes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. In a small bowl, combine pineapple, cucumber, red onion, pepper, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.

3. Heat oil over medium heat. Working in batches, as necessary, cook each cake 2-3 minutes per side. Top with pineapple salsa before serving.

These are the perfect alternative to those little crab cakes topped with creamy sauce you usually find at parties!

Blue Harbor pouches are perfect for recipes like this but also for everyday eating on the go. You don’t need to drain them so they are perfect for tucking in your bag and heading out of the door. No matter how you eat the Blue Harbor wild, Albacore tuna, you can feel good about choosing a brand that is MSC certified!
