4. 4
   Starting on the longer edge, slice each piece into 1/2-inch strips.
5. 5
   Cut any very tall strips in half horizontally so all the pieces are about 1/2 by 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches.
6. 6
   Place the flour in a medium bowl and season with the salt and pepper.
7. 7
   Place the egg whites in another bowl and beat until frothy, about 30 seconds.
8. 8
   Combine the Parmesan and bread crumbs in a third bowl.
9. 9
   Coat the salmon pieces in the seasoned flour and pat to remove any excess.

    Dip the floured salmon in the egg whites and then into the bread-crumb mixture, gently pressing the mixture into the fish.
11. 11
    Place the breaded salmon on a liberally oiled baking sheet and drizzle lightly with a bit more olive oil.

    Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

    Mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, Dijon mustard, and parsley (or chives, if using) in a small bowl.
14. 14
    Arrange the fish sticks on a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce.
