How To Make rice paper wrapped salmon on coconut milk spinach

Step 1

Prepare Coconut Milk Spinach and Peppers Preheat oven to 450°. Heat large dry skillet over medium high heat until hot. Add spinach, a handful at a time, tossing leaves until they have wilted. Transfer spinach to a colander, let cool then squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Set aside. Wipe out skillet with paper towel.

Step 2

Brush peppers with 1 tablespoon oil. Place on baking sheet and roast until they begin to blister. Remove from oven and let cool. Slice into strips and blot moisture with paper towel.
Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until transparent. Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant.
Step 4

Stir in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add spinach and pepper strips. Season with Sriracha, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Remove from heat.
Step 5

Prepare Rice Paper Wrapped Fish Maintain 450° oven.

In a small bowl mix fish sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger together and lime juice. Rub salmon with mixture.
Step 7

Fill a large bowl with very hot water. Dip rice paper, one sheet at a time, in water for 10 seconds. Place on a moistened dish towel - sheet will soften and become more pliable. Arrange 2 cilantro sprigs attractively in the center of the rice paper then place salmon on top. Fold the rice paper over the salmon to make a packet. Fold the additional 3 packets.
Step 8

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon packets in the skillet, seam-side down, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Make certain they do not touch one another. Turn and cook for 1 1/2 minutes more.
