Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Let it cool slightly, then gently flake into bite-sized pieces.

    While the salmon bakes, prepare your vegetables. Julienne the cucumber, carrots, and red bell pepper. Slice the avocado thinly. Chop the fresh cilantro.

    ⏱ 10 min
  5. 5

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, the juice of one lime, and honey until well combined. This will be your dipping sauce.

    Set up your rolling station: a shallow dish of warm water, your rice paper wrappers, flaked salmon, and all prepared vegetables.

  7. 7

    Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for 15-20 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable. Carefully lay it flat on a clean, damp surface.
