Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Halibut fillet
- 8 Rice paper wrappers
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 small Cucumber
- 16 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 16 leaves Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Pat halibut fillet dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with vegetable oil. Cook the halibut for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and allow it to cool slightly. Flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the carrot and cut it into thin julienne strips. Slice the cucumber into thin matchsticks as well.
Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper at a time into the water for 10-15 seconds, or until soft and pliable.
Place the softened rice paper on a clean cutting board or damp kitchen towel. Add a small amount of flaked halibut, a few carrot and cucumber strips, 2 mint leaves, and 2 cilantro leaves (if using) onto the lower third of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and ingredients until all wraps are made.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and grated ginger to create a dipping sauce.
Serve the halibut rice wraps immediately with the dipping sauce on the side for a light and fresh meal.
