These tuna pizza fish cakes are lighter than a pizza and protein packed. Plus they are quick, simple and full of my favourite pizza toppings. I love to use tomato puree, pesto and mozzarella on my families pizzas. As I can’t have cheese so I use nutritional yeast on my fishcakes or pizza. You can use any toppings you enjoy. These are perfect for a speedy lunch, a family friendly dinner or even a meal prep. The cakes bring all the fun of pizza but without the fuss. Below is a video and recipe for you.
