Ingredients
  

For the Baked Salmon

  • 2 salmon filets
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha adjust to taste
  • 4 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 scallions minced

For Assembling

  • 1 ripe avocado sliced
  • 14 round rice paper wrappers
  • 6 pieces Roasted seaweed snack (nori)
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup sticky rice I used microwavable sticky rice
  • 4 tablespoons sesame seeds

For Dipping Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon scallions thinly sliced
  • Pinch of sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place salmon filets in a lightly greased baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle tops of salmon with about 2 tablespoons each of Kewpie Mayonnaise and Sriracha.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes.
  • Once salmon is baked, remove from oven and flip to remove the salmon skin.
  • With a fork, break up the salmon until it’s all shredded.
  • To the dish with the shredded salmon, add in panko and scallions. Mix well to combine then set aside to cool.
  • Remove the rice paper from their wrapper and begin dipping one side of the rice paper into a bowl of water, slowly turning it in a circle so all sides get wet. Continue for about 15 seconds until the rice paper is just pliable.
  • Lay rice paper on top of a damp cloth then place 1 nori sheet in the center followed by about 2 tablespoons of rice, 3 tablespoons of salmon, a slice of avocado, topping it with another nori sheet.
  • Starting with the side closest to you, begin folding the rice paper over the center followed by each side then rolling it away from you to close.
  • Rehydrate another piece of rice paper then place the already wrapped piece in the middle of the new piece and wrap again – this will help it from splitting while frying.
  • Place sesame seeds in a shallow dish and coat each side of the rice paper with the sesame seeds.
  • Heat oil in a pan, over medium heat. Once hot, add your wrapped bites – you may need to work in batches. Fry on each side for about 2-3 mins until crispy and brown.
  • To make the dipping sauce, combine all ingredients in a small dish and mix well to combine.
  • Enjoy your Spicy Baked Salmon wrapped in Crispy Rice Paper immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
