STEPS

1

Whisk egg yolk, garlic, and lemon juice in a bowl until well-blended. Drizzle in olive oil and canola oil slowly, whisking constantly, until thick and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Transfer aioli to the refrigerator.

2

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in flour to make a paste. Reduce heat to low. Gradually stir in milk until sauce thickens. Add tuna, parsley, chives, dill, lemon juice, zest, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until the mixture reaches mashed potato consistency.

3

Spread the tuna mixture in a baking dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or overnight.

4

Whisk eggs in a small bowl. Pour panko breadcrumbs into a shallow dish.

5

Divide chilled tuna mixture into 8 portions; shape into cylinders or patties with moistened hands. Dip into egg wash and roll in breadcrumbs. Chill until firm for 1 hour.

6

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve with aioli.
