2 large egg white- ¼ cup mayonnaise dressing - cholesterol-free
¼ cup cornmeal
12 ounces salmon fillets - skin removed

- Using a mortar and pestle, crush and grind together the first 5 ingredients. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add lemon juice and, using your mortar, make a paste.
- Stir in egg whites, mayonnaise, and cornmeal.
- Rinse your fish, pat dry, and cut into 1/4-inch thick pieces. They don’t have to be uniform, so don’t feel you have to be precise. Stir this into your mixture.
