Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams salmon fillet
- 12 pieces rice paper wrappers
- 120 grams vermicelli rice noodles
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 20 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 20 leaves fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon crushed peanuts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Season the salmon fillet with olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces with a fork.
Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin matchstick-like strips. Chop the green onion into long, thin slices.
Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 5-7 seconds until it softens. Remove and place it flat on a clean surface or damp kitchen towel.
Layer a small portion of vermicelli noodles, flaked salmon, carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, green onion, mint leaves, and cilantro leaves in the center of the rice paper.
Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
To make the dipping sauce, whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, water, sugar, and a small squeeze of lime juice until smooth. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts for added texture.
Serve the fresh spring rolls with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
