Flaky tuna, sweet pops of corn, and sharp spring onions come together in these simple tuna and sweetcorn fritters. Using almond flour keeps the base light, while a quick pan-fry creates a golden, crispy edge that contrasts perfectly with the tender, moist interior. The result is a satisfying, honest bite that relies on pantry staples to pull together a quick meal.
These fritters offer a balanced mix of savory and sweet notes, anchored by the mild, earthy nuttiness of the almond flour. Because they come together in one bowl and fry up in just minutes, they are an ideal choice for a busy lunch or a light dinner when you need something reliable and unfussy.
Enjoy them warm straight from the pan while the edges are at their crunchiest. They hold their own as a standalone meal, though they pair easily with a side of dressed greens or a dollop of yogurt if you are looking to round out your plate.
