The flavors and colors on this salmon dish are great all year long. The salmon you can cook in the air fryer, roast in the oven, saute stove top or use your BBQ grill. If you have never made crispy rice paper it is so very easy. When ever I am cooking Asian recipes I like to go to H Mart to get my ingredients, because they have everything. Most of our standard super markets do not have a large Asian section and have minimal ingredients.

I am using a triangle piece of rice paper, and yes you can purchase them this way. H Mart has every size of rice paper you could ever want. As you can see I have a fair amount of oil in my pan. You want the oil nice and hot so that the rice paper immediately starts to turn white and puff up. You can dip the corner of the rice paper in the oil to test the temperature of the oil, if it does not start puffing up and turning white immediately you need to wait for the oil to get hotter. I only fry one paper at a time, because they cook so fast. Have a sheet pan lined with paper towels ready to drain the fried rice papers.

When getting ready to cook the salmon leave all the goodies on top, lemongrass, onion, peppers etc. Drain off the liquid and place in a small sauce pan and reduce on the stove top. This will make a nice glaze for serving.
