Air Fryer Crispy Salmon Fish Sticks with Lime-Dill Dipping Sauce

INSTAGRAM: @julielinhmouret TIK TOK: @julielinhmouret

SALMON FISH STICKS • 1 3/4 LBS WILD-CAUGHT SALMON FILLETS, 1 INCH THICK • 2 TSP CHILE-LIME SEASONING SALT (LIKE “TAJÍN CLÁSICO”MOST GROCERY STORES CARRY IT) • 2 TSP FRESH DILL, FINELY CHOPPED • 2 LARGE EGGS, LIGHTLY BEATEN • 1 1/4 CUPS PLAIN PANKO BREAD CRUMBS

LIME-DILL DIPPING SAUCE • 1/4 CUP GREEK YOGURT • 3 TBSP MAYONNAISE • JUICE OF 1/2 LIME • 2 TSP FRESH DILL, FINELY CHOPPED • 1/2 TSP CHILE-LIME SEASONING SALT • 1/8 TSP KOSHER SALT

1 | Start with the dipping sauce. Combine the yogurt, mayo, lime juice, dill, chile-lime salt, and kosher salt; set aside.

2 | For the fish sticks: cut the salmon into 16 sticks that are roughly 4 x 1 inch. Season with the fresh dill and 1 tsp of the chile-lime salt.

3 | Next you will need 2 shallow bowls: one for the lightly beaten eggs, the other for the panko bread crumbs and the remaining chile-lime salt. Dredge each fish stick in the egg wash then in the panko mixture. Shake off any excess panko crumbs.

4 | Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees. Add the 1st batch of fish sticks to the basket, place them in a single layer with space in between each fish stick. Cook for 5 minutes then turn them over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batches. Serve hot with the dipping sauce.

Resident Discount Card Program

Resident Discounts

We are excited to provide an informational update to the current Chateau Elan Resident Discount program, including information on how to register for a resident discount card, where to pick them up, and an outline of the resident discount perks.

Residents of Chateau Elan Estates are eligible for a ‘Resident Discount Card,’ available for pick-up at the Chateau Elan Golf Clubhouse through December 31st, 2022. Once registered, the ‘Resident Discount Card’ allows residents to receive various discounts on offerings around Chateau Elan Winery and Resort. Residents who choose not to register for a ‘Resident Discount Card’ are not eligible to receive any discounts and must pay the regular fee for all programs and services throughout the resort. The ‘Resident Discount Card’ is completely optional and is not required for residents.

Residents using this ‘Resident Discount Program’ will receive the following discounts when a valid resident card is presented at the time of purchase. Discounts may only be applied to goods and services for Chateau Elan residents. Residents may not use their ‘Resident Discount Card’ to discount goods and services for friends, non-residential family, and/or guests. Residents must be present with a valid ‘Resident Discount Card’ at point-of-sale to receive discounted offers. Discounts are subject to change and may not be used on holidays/ special event dates. Some items are exempt from the resident discount program – i.e. gift card purchases, packages, special events, wine tastings, wine tours, glasses of wine, alcohol, etc. Discounts may not be combined with other offers. Discounts are eligible through December 31, 2022.
