Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Vegetables
- 1 lb salmon fillets (skinless, boneless)
- 8 pieces rice paper wrappers (thin and pliable)
- 1 cup lettuce (any leafy green)
- 1 cup carrots (grated or julienned)
- 1 cup cucumbers (sliced thinly)
Seasoning and Sauce
- 3 tbsp fish sauce (or soy sauce)
- 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather and prepare all ingredients. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake the salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
- Cool and flake salmon: Remove salmon from the oven and let it cool slightly. Use a fork to flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces, making it easier to incorporate into the rolls.
- Soften rice papers: Soak one rice paper wrapper at a time in warm water for 20-30 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable, then place it on a clean working surface.
- Assemble spring rolls: On each softened rice paper, arrange a small handful of lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, and a portion of the flaked salmon. Roll the rice paper tightly around the fillings to form a neat spring roll, folding in the sides as you roll.
- Serve: Serve the salmon spring rolls immediately with Cham Dipping Sauce made from combining fish sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and optionally sugar and chili for added flavor.
Notes
- Use thin, pliable rice paper wrappers for easier rolling.
- Adjust fish sauce and lime juice amounts in the dipping sauce to taste.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; rice paper may become chewy if stored too long.
- Fresh herbs like mint or cilantro can be added for extra flavor.
- Cham Dipping Sauce typically includes sugar and chili; feel free to customize.
