Crunchy Tortilla Salmon

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Servings: 2

INGREDIENTS
2 salmon fillets
1 cup crushed tortilla chips (Xothitl Tortilla Chips are my favorite for the light crispy texture)
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1 egg white
1 tsp of water (for egg wash)
2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried cilantro
1 cup flour
2 tbsp lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil ( I use garlic infused olive oil)



DIRECTIONS
1. Defrost the salmon or use fresh fillets.
2. Mix the garlic salt, pepper, and dried cilantro into the flour and place on a plate.
3. Crush tortilla chips in the food processor to crumb consistency.
4. Mix panko bread crumbs and tortilla crumbs well and place on a plate.
5. Separate the egg white and mix with the water to create egg wash in a bowl.
6. Heat the oil on low medium heat. The oil should be enough to coat the bottom of the pan and then add the lime juice.
7. Dredge the salmon fillet in the flour mixture.
8. Coat the salmon in the egg wash.
9. Coat the salmon in the tortilla crumb and bread crumb mixture.
10. Place the fillets in the pan and cook each side for about 5 mins.

I served the dish with organic quinoa (my boyfriend loves the stuff so there is quite a bit on his plate) and Green Giant steamable veggies.
