Salmon Spring Rolls With Coriander Dipping Sauce Food

SALMON SPRING ROLLS WITH SESAME MISO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the spring rolls: Dip a rice paper wrapper into a bowl of warm water, making sure to wet all sides. Remove the softened and pliable rice paper and place on a clean surface. On the side of the wrapper closest to you add some salmon, cabbage cilantro, carrots and cucumbers. Fold the ends of the rice wrapper over the filling. Tuck the edge closest to you over the filling and continue to roll until it's closed and snug. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and ingredients.
• For the sauce: In small bowl mix together 2 tablespoons water, the miso paste, vinegar, honey and sesame oil and stir well to combine.
• Serve the spring rolls immediately with the sauce for dipping.

SALMON SPRING ROLLS WITH CORIANDER DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• To make marinade:
• In a large bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut salmon crosswise into 12 pieces, each about 2 1/2 by 1 inch, and add to marinade. Marinate salmon, turning pieces occasionally, 30 minutes.
• Make dipping sauce while salmon marinates:
• In a small bowl, whisk together all dipping sauce ingredients except coriander. (Coriander will be added just before serving.)
• Remove salmon from marinade and pat dry.
• Fill a small shallow baking pan or cake pan with warm water. Soak 4 sheets rice paper until very pliable, about 45 seconds. Carefully, stack soaked sheets, 1 at a time, between single layers of paper towels to drain, ending with a rice paper. Put 1 sheet of rice paper on a clean dry work surface, reserving dampened paper towel, and arrange 1 salmon piece crosswise on bottom half of sheet, leaving a 1-inch border on bottom edge and on each side. Top salmon with about 4 coriander leaves, 1 teaspoon scallion greens, and salt and pepper to taste. Roll up filling in sheet, folding in sides after first roll to completely enclose filling, and continue rolling. Wrap filled spring roll in reserved dampened paper towel to help form spring roll and keep it moist.
• Make more spring rolls in same manner with remaining 3 soaked sheets. Transfer assembled rolls in dampened paper towels to a tray and repeat procedure with remaining 8 rice paper sheets, 4 at a time, and ingredients.
• Carefully unwrap 4 spring rolls from paper towels. In a deep 12-inch non-stick heavy skillet, heat 1/4 inch oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and fry 4 spring rolls, turning once, until golden brown and salmon is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer spring rolls as fried with metal tongs to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat procedure with remaining spring rolls.
• Stir coriander into dipping sauce. Serve spring rolls as an hors d'oeuvre or first course with dipping sauce and garnish with coriander sprigs.

SALMON SUMMER ROLLS WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Dipping Sauce:.
• Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl. Set aside for the flavors to meld while you are making the spring rolls.
• The Spring Rolls:.
• Cook salmon in olive oil or a nonstick sprayed medium heat pan until cooked through, about 3 minutes a side, depending on the thickness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Break salmon apart into medium chunks with a fork and let cool while you prepare your other ingredients.
• Get your ingredients ready so that they are separate and ready to grab for each roll. I split each ingredient pile into 4 so I can divide them more evenly between the 16.
• Set 1 rice paper sheet in very warm water in a pie plate and let sit for about 15 seconds, or until soft and pliable. Remove and set on counter or other flat space where you can place the rice paper. When you remove a sheet, add another one to the hot water while you make a roll, so it will be ready to use for the next one. You will have to replace the water a few times, as it cools.
• Add 1/16th of each of the ingredients vertically on the rice paper, taking up the center half of the sheet. Fold the top quarter and bottom quarter to meet at the center of the ingredients, overlapping slightly. Tightly roll the sheet from one side to the other to make a secure spring roll. The rice paper will automatically stick to itself to "glue" it together. There is a demo on Recipezaar with photos of another way to roll them. You can see it at http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=224922. Scroll halfway down the page to view the photos.
• Repeat until you have 16 rolls and place on a plate or baking tray as you go along. You can make these hours before a party if you wish.
• Cover with plastic wrap to store in refrigerator or serve immediately with dipping sauce.
