- 6 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Chili Oi
- 2 tsp Sesame Oil
- 2 tsp Ginger, minced
- To taste Salt And Pepper
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil, divided in half
For the Bites
- 1 ea Jalapeno, sliced
- 12 ea Rice Paper Wrapper
- 1 ea Green Onion, sliced
- 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
Firecracker Sauce
- 1/2 cup Mayo
- 5 tbsp Sriracha
- 5 tbsp Sweet Chili Sauce
- For the Salmon: Thaw Salmon fillets for 2 hours, or up to overnight, under refrigeration.
- Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and chili oil in a small bowl.
- Place Salmon in a Ziploc bag. Add approximately 1/3 of soy-sauce vinegar mixture. Reserve remaining mixture for dipping. Let salmon marinate at room temperature for 10 – 15 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick pan over high heat and add half of the vegetable oil. Carefully remove Salmon from marinade and pat dry. Sear salmon for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown; it does not need to be cooked all the way through at this point. Set salmon aside and wipe out pan.
- For the Bites: To assemble: cut cooled salmon into 1 inch squares and gather a shallow bowl/plate filled with warm water on your work surface.
- Dip rice paper into water for approximately 10 seconds to wet it all over. Lay rice paper on a cutting board (rice paper should be soft). Cut rice paper in half creating two "half moons." Place 1 piece of salmon and 1 slice of jalapeno in centre of paper and fold left and right sides in towards the centre, then roll up twice. Trim off any excess paper. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Heat the non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add remaining vegetable oil to pan. Pan fry salmon bites for about 2 minutes per side, until crisp and golden brown. Salmon should reach 158 ℉ (70℃).
- For the Sauce: Mix all three ingredients in a small bowl and hold chilled until ready to serve.
- To Finish: Transfer the Salmon bites to a serving platter and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with reserved dipping sauces.
