Parmesan Fish Sticks

I really love salmon - especially on the grill. But this time of year I'm looking to cook it other ways. These fish sticks are super easy, really delicious, and good for you. I'd be willing to bet you could get your kids to eat them too...especially if they help you make them!

This recipe is from my girl, Giada. Hope you like these as much as I did!

Parmesan Fish Sticks

4 salmon fillets, skinned and cut into thick strips.

1/2 c. flour

salt & pepper

3 egg whites

1 c. freshly grated Parmesan (highly recommended)

1 c. seasoned bread crumbs (I used Italian Panko crumbs)

Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Dipping Sauce:

1/3 c. reduced fat mayo

1/3 c. lowfat plain yogurt

1 T. Dijon mustard

1 T. chopped fresh parsley or chives

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Place flour sprinkled with salt & pepper in one bowl. Place egg whites in another bowl, and whisk until frothy. Combine parmesan and bread crumbs in a third bowl.

Coat salmon strips in seasoned flour (lightly). Dip floured salmon in egg whites then into the parmesan mixture, gently pressing onto the fish. Place breaded salmon sticks on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray. Drizzle fish lightly with the olive oil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

Mix mayo, yogurt, Dijon mustard, and parsley in small bowl and set aside until you're ready to dip!

I also squeezed a fresh lemon over the salmon before eating - your preference.

NOTE: You can also dip the fish sticks in ketchup, marinara sauce, pesto, ranch, or any vinaigrette.
