Healthy Tuna Croquettes (No Frying!) – Easy Recipe
Easy tuna croquettes (or fish) made without frying. A healthy, quick recipe the whole family will love — perfect for kids too.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 egg
- 1 pinch garlic powder
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 2 pinches black pepper
- 1 pinch salt
- 250 grams white fish or tuna
- 1 slice whole wheat bread, ground, for breading
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, add the fish or tuna. Squeeze in the lemon juice and add the garlic powder, pepper, and salt to taste.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the beaten egg and 2 tablespoons of the ground bread.
- Mix well until you get a uniform mixture and start shaping the patties. If the mixture feels too loose, add a bit more egg and ground bread until you reach the right consistency to form the croquettes.
- Shape each croquette and coat it in breading one at a time. A favorite tip of mine: grind whole wheat bread with a little garlic salt and Italian herbs for extra-flavorful breading.
- Spray your skillet with a light coat of cooking oil. Place the croquettes over medium heat and cover the pan so they cook more evenly and quickly, without needing to be deep fried.
- Once golden on one side, flip each croquette. Total cooking time is 6 to 8 minutes.
