TUNA CROQUETTES

Tuna Croquettes image

This tuna croquettes recipe is one of our favorites. My husband and I grow our own cucumbers and dill, which makes the dish taste extra fresh. Reduced-fat mayonnaise and sour cream can be used in place of full-fat versions. -Sherri Melotik, Oak Creek, Wisconsin

NEVER FAIL TUNA PATTIES (SALMON WORKS TOO)

Never Fail Tuna Patties (Salmon Works Too) image

I've made these for so long that I'm not sure of the recipe origin. They never fail, are easy to make & always good. They also work well & impress as a starter if served with crisp veggies, tartar sauce or a light mayo sauce thinned-with-milk & flavored with lime juice, dill & chives. Makes 4 patties of entree size or 6-8 of starter size. Edited to Add -- My spec thx to Chef JillAZ for reviewing this recipe for the Freezer Tag Game in the OAMC Forum & for the info she provided. Pls see Note #2 at the end of Prep Steps for this info. :-)

Time 21m

Yield 4 Patties, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) can tuna (water packed)
2 medium size eggs
2 tablespoons lime juice (preferred, but lemon ok)
1 teaspoon dill
1/4 onion, finely minced (red or white)
crushed corn flakes, as bonding ingredient
olive oil, to brown patties

Steps:

Combine 1st 5 ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Add corn flakes til you no longer see any liquid in the mixture, but more is usually better.
Divide into 4 equal portions on a cutting board.
Shape patties & flatten to 3/4 in thickness.
Use spatula to transfer carefully to non-stick skillet & saute over med-low heat in olive oil til golden brown & crisp on both sides.
Note #1: A variety of dry bonding ingredients can be used. I use crushed corn flakes or Pepperide Farm dressing mix. I don't care for the mushy texture of the end-product or the difficulty holding the patties together when potato is used.
Note #2: For OAMC per JillAZ ~ *To freeze* (uncooked patties) prepare recipe thru Prep Step #4. Place patties in a freezer bag w/layers of parchment paper in between. Seal, label & freeze. *To serve* ~ Thaw in fridge or microwave & cook as directed. ~~ Cooked patties can also be frozen wrapped in plastic wrap & placed in a freezer bag. Thaw in fridge or microwave & reheat on stovetop or in oven.

Tips:

Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, firm, and flavorful tuna or salmon. Use good quality breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings to enhance the taste.
Properly Drain the Fish: Ensure the canned tuna or salmon is well-drained before incorporating it into the mixture. This prevents excess moisture and helps the croquettes or patties hold their shape better.
Use a Food Processor: If you have one, using a food processor can make the process of combining the ingredients quicker and more efficient.
Chill the Mixture: Before shaping the croquettes or patties, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the ingredients bind together and makes them easier to handle.
Use Panko Breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs add a crispy texture to the croquettes or patties. If you don't have panko, you can use regular breadcrumbs, but they may not be as crispy.
Shallow or Pan Fry: For a crispy exterior and tender interior, pan or shallow fry the croquettes or patties in hot oil. Ensure the oil is not too hot to prevent burning the outside before the inside is cooked.
Serve with Sauces: These croquettes or patties pair well with various sauces, such as tartar sauce, remoulade sauce, or a simple lemon-herb sauce. Experiment with different sauces to find your favorite combination.

Conclusion:

Tuna or salmon croquettes or patties are versatile and delicious dishes that can be enjoyed as appetizers, main courses, or snacks. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside croquettes or patties that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different seasonings and ingredients to create unique variations that suit your taste preferences. Whether you prefer tuna or salmon, these croquettes or patties are a fantastic way to enjoy these nutritious fish in a creative and satisfying meal.
