Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked salmon you can use canned salmon or poached salmon; both work great!
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup cucumber julienned (use zucchini as a fun substitute!)
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper sliced thin
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro basil is a great alternative!
- 1 package rice paper wraps find these at any Asian grocery store or online
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Oil for frying canola or vegetable oil works well
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by mixing the cooked salmon, shredded carrots, julienned cucumber, sliced bell pepper, mint, cilantro, lime juice, and soy sauce in a big bowl. This mix should look colorful and inviting—trust me, it will taste incredible!
- Soak the Rice Paper: Take a deep breath and grab a large bowl of warm water. Dip one rice paper wrap into the water for about 10 seconds, until it’s soft but not mushy. Lay it flat on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
- Fill ‘Em Up: Now it’s time to fill! Place a couple of spoonfuls of your salmon mixture onto the bottom third of the rice paper, leaving some room on the sides. Don’t overstuff or you might regret it later.
- Roll ‘n Tuck: Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then gently roll it up from the bottom. Aim for a snug fit, but don’t crush the filling. Repeat with the rest of the wraps!
- Fry it Up: Alright, heat that oil in a large pan over medium heat. Adding a few spring rolls at a time, fry them until they’re golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes each side. Transfer them to a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Serve and Dip: Serve these beauties warm with your favorite dips—try soy sauce, peanut sauce, or sweet chili sauce. Enjoy your culinary masterpiece!
