Drain the tuna and mash it in a bowl with the egg, the finely chopped onion, half of the paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper until it holds together.
Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Shape the mixture into 3 small patties, fry them 3-4 minutes per side until golden, then take them out.
Slice the zucchini into half-moons. In the same pan, heat the remaining oil and fry the zucchini over high heat for 6 minutes until golden and tender. Season with salt and the remaining paprika.
Serve the patties on top of the zucchini. They are also good cold the next day.
