Canned tuna is often more affordable and widely available.

Saute 1/4 cup of onion in 2 tablespoons of butter until soft and translucent.

Add 4 tablespoons of flour to the onion and stir to combine, forming a roux.

Pour in 1 cup of milk and stir until the mixture thickens to a gravy-like consistency.

Remove the thickened mixture from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of dry breadcrumbs and 1.5 cups of canned salmon (two 6-ounce cans).

Mix until the salmon is well incorporated into the mixture.

Shape the mixture into small rectangles (bricks) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Refrigerate the shaped croquettes until ready to cook, allowing flavors to combine and the mixture to set.

Prepare the lemon dill aioli by mixing 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons dill weed, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a bowl.

Taste the aioli and adjust seasoning by adding more lemon juice and dill if desired.

Heat oil and butter in a skillet and brown the croquettes on all sides until golden.

Serve the browned croquettes with a drizzle of lemon dill aioli on top.
