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
- Pat the salmon strips dry. Pat the salmon strips dry with paper towels. This helps them get crispy when cooked.
- 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.
- Dredge in flour. Dredge each salmon strip in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip in eggs. Dip the floured strip into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off.
- Coat in breadcrumb mixture. Finally, coat the strip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with all salmon strips.
- 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.
- 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.
- Make the tartar dip. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, and capers. Mix well until smooth.
- Season the dip. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust lemon juice if a tangier flavor is desired.
- 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.
