Spring Rolls With Salmon

This salmon spring rolls recipe is a refreshing departure from greasy, deep-fried egg rolls. Also referred to as “salmon summer rolls”, they typically feature crunchy veggies, herbs, some kind of protein, and creamy avocado all wrapped in tender rice paper- such as our shrimp spring rolls. In this version, we add our little spin by using our favorite recipe for cold smoked salmon (if you don’t want to make it homemade, feel free to pick up a smoked salmon fillet from the store).

Where to Find Rice Paper Wrappers

Nowadays, you can find spring roll wrappers in the Asian aisle of most grocery stores. If you’re having a hard time pinning them down, go to your local Asian specialty food store or order some from Amazon.

Preparing Salmon Spring Rolls

To kick off the process, slice the cucumber, avocado, carrots, and salmon into long, thin strips.

• Soak the Rice Paper: Next, fill a shallow dish with warm water. Place a rice paper wrapper in the water for 10-20 seconds, then lay it on a clean work surface.
• Stuff the Spring Rolls: On one side of the rice paper, stack the smoked salmon, sliced veggies, and avocado.
• Roll the Spring Rolls: Fold over the sides of the rice paper. Starting from the side with the filling, roll up the rice paper into a semi-tight roll. Repeat the process.
• Assemble & Serve the Spring Rolls: Lay the spring rolls on a plate in a single layer. Serve alongside your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

3 Pro Tips for the Best Salmon Spring Rolls

Salmon spring rolls might look intimidating to make, but a couple of tips will help you nail it.

• Soak each rice paper one at a time. Once the rice papers are soaked, they will get a little sticky. To prevent them from tearing and sticking to one another, only soak and roll one rice paper at a time.
• Slice the veggies into equal-sized strips. To make for easier rolling and a more consistent bite, slice the veggies into even-sized strips.
• Assemble the spring rolls seam-side down. Prevent your spring rolls from falling apart by assembling them with the seam-side down.

Different Fillings to Experiment With

From authentic to experimental, here are a couple of different fillings to play around with.

• Herbs: Add one or all of cilantro, mint leaves, green onion, and Thai basil
• Noodles: Cook some rice vermicelli noodles in boiling water, allow them to cool, and stuff a portion in each roll
• Protein: If smoked salmon isn’t your thing, swap in roast pork, air fryer shrimp, or tofu slices (marinate them in hoisin for extra flavor!)

Ideas for Serving Salmon Spring Rolls

Salmon spring rolls are the perfect appetizer for your next dinner party. Prepare a quick batch of 5 minute peanut sauce for serving with. Serve them on a platter alongside some easy crab puffs and chili sauce and let your guests dip away. They’re also wonderful alongside just about any noodle dish. Veggie lo mein or spicy chili noodles immediately come to mind.

Storing Spring Rolls

To keep your spring rolls fresh for up to 3 days, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. This will keep the rice paper from turning hard quicker.
