Tuna Croquettes With Romesco Sauce

Crispy on the outside, creamy and herb-flecked on the inside, these tuna croquettes are the kind of make-ahead appetizer that earns genuine compliments. Paired with a smoky, fire-roasted romesco sauce bright with lemon and almonds, they're as impressive as they are effortless.

How To Pick Tuna

Select tuna that is packed in water so that the mixture can easily bind together. Tuna packed in oil will make the mixture too wet.

Ingredient Swaps

You can swap canned tuna for cooked salmon if you like. 

Nutritional Features

Canned tuna provides a lean, accessible source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, while the roasted romesco sauce delivers vitamin C and antioxidant-rich lycopene from the tomatoes and bell pepper. This dairy-free appetizer is satisfying without being heavy — a smart, nourishing choice for entertaining.
