# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Pat salmon strips dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy exterior when cooking.
02 -
Place flour in one shallow dish, whisk eggs in a second dish, and combine panko, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a third dish.
03 -
Dredge each strip in flour, shaking off excess; dip into beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off; finally coat in seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
04 -
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet to about 1/4 inch depth over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot (test by dropping a breadcrumb, it should sizzle).
05 -
Fry salmon strips in batches for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
06 -
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, and capers. Mix until smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust lemon juice for desired tanginess.
07 -
Serve salmon strips hot alongside the herb tartar dip.
