Ingredients
Gathering the right ingredients is the first step to culinary success. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound salmon fillets, skinless and boneless
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons capers, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
If you’re looking for substitutes, you can use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version, or swap the dill and parsley with your favorite herbs.
Instructions
Creating this dish is a delightful experience, and here’s a step-by-step guide to make it effortless:
- Begin by prepping the salmon. Cut the salmon into strips, about 1 inch wide. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely.
- Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the last with a mix of panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Coat each salmon strip in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the salmon strips in batches. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- For the herb tartar dip, combine mayonnaise, capers, dill, parsley, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the crispy salmon strips hot with a side of herb tartar dip.
