1 Roughly chop the parsley and green onions. Drain the canned tuna well.

2 Place the tuna, green onion, parsley, breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, seasoning salt, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix the ingredients together just until evenly combined. Avoid over mixing.

3 Divide the mixture into four equal portions, then shape each portion into a patty.
