Ingredients:

For the Salmon Sticks:

  • 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Old Bay Blue Cheese Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Salmon:
  • Cut the salmon fillet into thin strips, about 1-inch wide and 3-4 inches long.
  • Season the salmon strips with salt and pepper.
  1. Breading Station:
  • Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with lemon pepper seasoning.
  1. Coat the Salmon:
  • Dredge each salmon strip in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Dip the floured salmon strip into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
  • Coat the salmon strip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with the remaining salmon strips.
  1. Fry the Salmon:
  • In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  • Working in batches, carefully place the breaded salmon strips into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried salmon sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  1. Make the Old Bay Blue Cheese Sauce:
  • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, crumbled blue cheese, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning. Stir until well combined.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  1. Serve:
  • Arrange the Fried Lemon Pepper Salmon Sticks on a serving platter and serve hot with the Old Bay Blue Cheese sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, make sure the oil is at the right temperature before frying the salmon sticks.
  • You can adjust the amount of lemon pepper seasoning in the breadcrumb mixture according to your taste preferences.
  • For a lighter option, you can bake the salmon sticks in the oven instead of frying them.
