Ingredients
- 1 (7-ounce) pouch albacore tuna, drained well and shredded by hand
- 2 green onions, chopped fine
- 2 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
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs, divided
- Olive oil, for sauteing
Instructions
- 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.

Reviews
I use this recipe often for Salmon Croquettes… one can of Double Q, bones and skins removed and drain (about 8oz) then follow the recipe. One cane makes about 7 patties or two cans for 14 (to make the effort worthwhile). Also pair this with Tyler Florence’s tartar sauce recipe.
Great recipe! I added a heaping tablespoon of shredded carrot. I used 2 5 ounce cans of solid white tuna also.
Can you double the recipe and make larger croquettes?
Very easy to whip up. I normally just mince a bit of onion as I rarely buy green onions. I just add parsley for more color.
Easy to make and taste great.
I wonder if you can use canned chicken instead of tuna? Anyone tried it?
These are perfect and remind me of my childhood!
Web site stinks. Try a few hundred less ads to slow the process even more!
Love this recipe. I use it every year during lent. Makes a great simple lunch.
I really, really, really, like this recipe! Super easy and delicious! I added a little cream for some extra moisture, and I highly recommend using “Chicken of the Sea” white albacore tuna, that way there is very little fishy taste. Over all fantastic and a go-to lunch for me!
