#### Introduction
Crisp salmon in rice paper with an Asian au jus is a delightful main dish that combines the freshness of salmon with the savory richness of an aromatic sauce, all wrapped up in crispy rice paper. This recipe is perfect for special occasions or family dinners, offering a unique twist on traditional seafood dishes.
#### Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz) skinless, boneless salmon fillets
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
- 8 large sheets of rice paper
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 cup beef broth
#### Instructions
1. **Prepare the Rice Paper**
- Soak each rice paper sheet in warm water for about 10 seconds until soft and pliable.
- Lay a sheet on a clean kitchen towel or plate to prevent it from sticking.
2. **Marinate the Salmon**
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before cooking.
3. **Make the Asian Au Jus**
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes (if using), honey, cornstarch mixed with water to form a slurry.
- Add beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until it thickens. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
4. **Fry the Salmon**
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the salmon.
- Carefully place each salmon fillet into the hot oil, skin-side down first to create a crispy outer layer.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another minute on the other side. Remove and drain excess oil.
5. **Assemble the Dishes**
- Place a salmon fillet in the center of each rice paper sheet.
- Spoon some of the Asian au jus over the salmon.
- Fold the rice paper around the salmon to enclose it, making sure it's sealed tight but not too tight to allow for crispiness.
6. **Serve and Enjoy**
- Serve the crispy salmon rolls immediately while hot. Garnish with additional sauce if desired.
#### Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are fresh for the best taste.
- Use a non-stick pan when frying to avoid sticking and ensure easy flipping of the salmon.
- Adjust seasoning to your preference, especially with the soy sauce and red pepper flakes.
By following these detailed steps, you can create a delicious Crisp Salmon in Rice Paper with Asian Au Jus that is both visually appealing and packed with flavor. Perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a special meal at home. Enjoy cooking!
