To prepare, you can pan-fry the tuna patty in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, you can bake it in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway. Microwaving is also an option for a very quick heat-up. Ensure the patty is thoroughly heated before serving. It can be served on its own or incorporated into other dishes.
