Servings: persons

frozen puff pastry, thawed (about 1/3 sheet , or 3 ounces)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk, plus more if needed
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 (6 ounce) cans chunk light tuna in oil, drained
2 tablespoons freshly finely grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste

1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0; on a lightly floured surface, roll the dough lightly just to smooth it, then cut it into two pieces, each about 3 by 4 1/2 inches.
2
Put pastry on a small baking sheet and bake in the hot oven until puffed and nicely browned, 20 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
4
Add in the flour and whisk until smooth, then whisk for about 30 seconds.
5
Add in the milk, whisk vigorously until the sauce is smooth, then reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking often, another 2-3 minutes to cook off the floury taste.
6
Season generously with salt and pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
7
The tuna should be creamy and loose, but not runny.
8
Add a little more milk, and reheat gently, if necessary.
9
Split the pastries in half horizontally, with your knife parallel to the work surface, as though you were splitting open a sandwich roll, and put the bottoms on two small plates.
10
Spoon the creamed tuna on the base, then cover with the top; serve immediately.
