Ingredients

2 12 oz cans white albacore tuna, in water, drained well

Scant 1/4 c yellow onion, choped fine

About 1-2 T finely chopped red pepper (I was using up a couple of strips I had left over in the veggie bin)

3 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 large eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Sprinkling of dried parsley

Sprinkling of Old Bay seasoning

1/4 c +/- Italian seasoned bread crumbs

1/2 c panko bread crumbs

Olive oil, for sauteing

LEMON CAPER SAUCE

1/4 c Dukes real Mayo

2 T sour cream

1 T capers, chopped

Juice and zest from 1/4 a lemon

Directions

CROQUETTES

Place the tuna, onions, pepper, mustard, eggs, lemon juice, salt, pepper, parsley, Old Bay, and 1/4 cup of the Italian bread crumbs into a medium mixing bowl and mix by hand to combine.

Sprinkle in more bread crumbs if needed for patties to take form.

Divide the mixture into 8 rounds and set aside on a parchment lined half sheet pan.

Allow to rest for 15 minutes. (An important step...due to the lemon juice the mixture is somewhat wet).

Place the Panko 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.

LEMON CAPER SAUCE

Stir all ingredients together

(lite mayo and sourcream can be used)
