Ingredients

Units Scale

Salmon Strips

  • 1 pound Salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into strips
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs (For extra crunch)
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • for frying Vegetable oil

Herb Tartar Dip

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Capers, rinsed and chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon strips dry. Pat the salmon strips dry with paper towels. This helps them get crispy when cooked.
  2. Set up a breading station. Place the flour in one shallow dish, whisk the eggs in a second dish, and mix the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third dish.
  3. Dredge in flour. Dredge each salmon strip in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. Dip in eggs. Dip the floured strip into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off.
  5. Coat in breadcrumb mixture. Finally, coat the strip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with all salmon strips.
  6. Heat oil and fry. In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (you can test by dropping in a breadcrumb – it should sizzle), carefully add the salmon strips in batches.
  7. Fry until golden brown. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the strips and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  8. Make the tartar dip. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, and capers. Mix well until smooth.
  9. Season the dip. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust lemon juice if a tangier flavor is desired.
  10. Serve. Serve the crispy salmon strips hot with the herb tartar dip on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Patting the salmon dry helps achieve a crispy crust.
  • Test oil temperature by dropping in a breadcrumb; it should sizzle to indicate readiness.
  • Adjust lemon juice in the dip for a tangier flavor if desired.
