Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp mayonnaise (I like Sir Kensington)
  • 16 ounces skinless salmon fillet (if frozen thawed, cut in 4 pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons drained capers (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 large egg whites (lightly beaten)
  • 1 cup seasoned panko* (or gluten free panko)
  • Olive oil spray
  • 4 whole wheat buns (or gluten free buns)
  • 4 butter lettuce leaves

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the ingredients for the Lemon-Caper Mayo in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to eat.
  2. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Cut the fish into 4 pieces, about 4 x 4 inches. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Place the egg whites in a shallow bowl.
  4. In a second shallow bowl combine the panko with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Dip the fish into the egg whites, then the panko. Set aside.
  6. Spray the basket with oil. Lay the fish on the basket in a single layer, in batches as needed.
  7. Spray the tops of the fish with oil and air fry 400F 8 minutes, turning half way, until golden and crisp.
  8. Serve fish on buns with lettuce and divide the sauce.

Notes

  • No air fryer, no problem! Bake in a preheated oven 400 12 to 14 minutes, turning halfway.
  • *NOTE 1/4 CUP GETS TOSSED AFTER
  • Check labels for gluten-free.
