Equipment

Air Fryer

Ingredients

Lemon-Caper Mayo:

6 tbsp mayonnaise (I like Sir Kensington)
2 tablespoons drained capers (minced)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

For the Fish:

16 ounces skinless salmon fillet (if frozen thawed, cut in 4 pieces)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
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

Combine the ingredients for the Lemon-Caper Mayo in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to eat.
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.
Place the egg whites in a shallow bowl.
In a second shallow bowl combine the panko with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Dip the fish into the egg whites, then the panko. Set aside.
Spray the basket with oil. Lay the fish on the basket in a single layer, in batches as needed.
Spray the tops of the fish with oil and air fry 400F 8 minutes, turning half way, until golden and crisp.
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
