I love making Alton Brown's Tuna Croquettes. Not only do they include my favorite fish, tuna, they are also super easy.
Here is the recipe, which is also available here:
1 (7-ounce) pouch albacore tuna, drained and shredded
2 green onions, chopped fine
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs, divided
Olive oil, for sauteing
Place the tuna, onions, mustard, eggs, lemon juice, salt, pepper and 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs into a medium mixing bowl and stir to combine. 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 bread crumbs into 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 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. 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.The recipe makes eight croquettes and I usually slice up lemon to drizzle over them while eating. I have also made this recipe without the lemon juice or the green onions and it still turned out great. I definitely recommend this recipe.
