Asian summer rolls with salmon
Preparation
To create the marinade, combine all the ingredients and season to taste. Place the salmon fillets in a little sesame oil in a pan or on the Tepan stainless steel grill, drizzle with a little marinade and cook on all sides over a medium heat. The salmon fillets are done when they are still slightly transparent in the middle but individual segments can be easily flaked off.
Bring a pan of water to the boil for the sheets of rice paper. Hold the sheets in the hot water for 1–2 seconds then place on a plate. Place pieces of salmon, a little marinade, avocado, herbs, spring onions, cucumber strips and wasabi nuts on the lower half of the sheets leaving an approx. 2 centimetre gap at each side. Fold the lower half up over the top half and fold in the sides. Roll up the summer roll and serve with the marinade as a dip.
