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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve:
- Arrange the Fried Lemon Pepper Salmon Sticks on a serving platter and serve hot with the Old Bay Blue Cheese sauce for dipping.
