Software
- 1 (7-ounce) pouch albacore tuna, drained well and shredded
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

ACTIVE TIME: 25 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes
Yield: 8 appetizer-size croquettes
Procedure
- Combine the tuna, scallions, mustard, eggs, lemon juice, salt, pepper and 1/4 cup of the panko in a medium mixing bowl. Divide the mixture into 8 rounds and set aside on a parchment-lined half sheet pan. Allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- Place the remaining panko in a pie plate. One at a time, coat each round in the panko on all sides.
- Heat enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the croquettes and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove to a cooling rack set over a half sheet pan lined with paper towels. Allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
