1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, celery, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

3. On a clean floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut them into 8 equal squares.

4. Place a heaping tablespoon of the tuna mixture in the center of each square.

5. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, and press the edges together firmly using the tines of a fork to seal.

6. Brush the tops of the pockets with the beaten egg using a pastry brush, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

7. Transfer the tuna pockets onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
