Viral TikTok Recipes: Firecracker Salmon in Rice Paper

Any of y’all who have TikTok know that there will be some pretty incredible recipes that pop up on the fyp frequently. And what do I do when this happens to me? I drool over it for 1 minute, save it to my favorites with the intention of making it soon, and then never looking at it again. So I recently decided to start actually making recipes from my saved favorites on TikTok! This first one is from My Healthy Dish and is her firecracker salmon in rice paper recipe! It seemed like a pretty healthy lunch idea (or dinner if you paired it with something) and I wanted to try it out!

Here’s the TikTok from that I posted where I tried it out!:

Once I got the hang of the rice paper and not tearing it, making this firecracker salmon was easy and a great lunch when I’m working from home! The sauce is what absolutely makes it because there’s not many complex flavors coming from the salmon wraps themselves.

However, I love the texture of the wraps! I love that you get crispy seared salmon on the inside and the chewiness of the rice paper on the outside. It’s a really tasty combo!

I would absolutely make this again too! Next time, I might season the salmon with some different seasonings next time and might chop up the green onion into small pieces rather than 1-2 inch long pieces– having the long pieces made it a bit messier to take a bite! It also might be tasty to add some sriracha or jalapeño next time inside the wrap to give it some spice! I think that’s part of what it’s missing currently.

Here’s the original TikTok from My Nguyen at My Healthy Dish:

Firecracker Salmon with Dipping Sauce

Servings 2 people

Ingredients

• 12 oz salmon boneless and skinless
• 6-10 pieces rice paper
• 1 bunch green onions cut into 1-2 inch pieces
• 1 tbsp avocado oil
• kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp sesame seeds
• 1 pinch fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1. Pat dry your salmon and cut into bite sized pieces (about 1 inch pieces)-- I got 8 pieces from 12 oz of salmon

2. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, preheat your avocado oil

3. Season both sides of your salmon with salt and pepper and then add to the pan, searing on both sides for about 3-4 minutes

4. While that is cooking, work on your sauce by combining soy sauce, seasame oil, vinegar, brown sugar, sesame seeds, and cilantro in a small bowl together and mixing well.

5. Carefully dunk a piece of rice paper in a bowl of cold water and start assembling your wraps. Add a piece of salmon in the middle and top it with 2-3 pieces of green onion. Then start carefully wrapping! Start from top to bottom and then wrap side-to-side. Repeat with remaining pieces of salmon.

6. Using pan and oil from the salmon, add the wraps to the pan over medium heat and cook on each side for about a minute until crispy,

7. Remove from pan and serve with dipping sauce. Enjoy!
