The crispiest piece of salmon you can eat paired with a healthy, no guilt, tartar sauce! Has an amazing flavor. The tartar sauce tastes so delicious and this meal bakes in only 20 minutes. A great healthy weeknight dinner idea!
To make the salmon, preheat the oven to 450°. Place a cooling rack onto a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Lightly beat the eggs in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Combine panko, garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and ½ pepper in another shallow dish. Toss to combine, then add the olive oil and toss again.
Dip the fish in the egg and then into the panko until well-crusted. Place on the rack and spray with more cooking spray. Then bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
To make the tartar sauce, in a small bowl combine mayo, garlic, green onion, sweet relish, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.
To serve, place salmon onto a plate and top with prepared tartar sauce. Serve with your favorite side dish!
Notes
Either frozen or fresh salmon both work great with this recipe.How can the kids help?
Assist your child in adding all the ingredients to the tartar sauce and mixing them together. This is a great math lesson to help teach measurements.
Have your child help you push the salmon extra hard into the panko to make sure it really sticks.
Store the cooked salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store the salmon and the tartar sauce separately. Both can be heated up in the microwave.
