Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Salmon fillet (skinless)
- 8 pieces Rice paper wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (fresh, finely grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 stalks Green onion (sliced thinly)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 bowl Water (for softening rice paper)
Instructions
Cut the salmon fillet into 8 equal strips, approximately 50 grams each.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
Place the salmon strips in the marinade and let them sit for 10 minutes.
Prepare a bowl of warm water for softening the rice paper. Lay a damp kitchen towel on your work surface to prevent sticking.
Take one rice paper wrapper and submerge it in the warm water for 10-15 seconds until softened. Place it on the damp towel.
Place a piece of marinated salmon in the center of the softened rice paper. Sprinkle a small amount of green onion and sesame seeds on top of the salmon.
Fold the sides of the rice paper over the salmon, then roll it tightly to seal, forming a neat parcel. Repeat this with the remaining salmon pieces and rice paper wrappers.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon parcels in the skillet, seam side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the rice paper is golden and crispy, and the salmon is fully cooked.
Remove the salmon parcels from the skillet and transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional green onions and sesame seeds, alongside your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or sweet chili sauce.
