For The Tartar Sauce

2. Add finely chopped pickles and minced dill.
3. Let chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving.
    

For the Cakes
 

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the tuna, dijon mustard, panko, lemon zest, remaining lemon juice, water, parsley, and scallions. Season with salt and cracked black pepper. Taste for seasoning. Once seasoned, add egg to the mixture.
2. Form the mixture into 4 equal sized cakes. Place cakes onto a wax paper lined tray and chill for 30 minutes to one hour.
3. Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, place the cakes into the pan and cook until well browned, approximately 3-4 minutes on each side.
4. Remove from pan and set on a paper towel lined sheet man to remove excess oil.
5. Once blotted, serve with reserved Tartar Sauce.
