Crispy Rice Paper Puffs Filled with Salmon Cream and Avocado

Rice paper sheets are turned into crispy puffs filled with a smooth salmon cream made from roasted salmon, cream cheese, soy sauce, sriracha and chives, then topped with avocado cream and sesame. The recipe comes from Teka’s nutrition department and is presented as a dish that looks restaurant-quality but is said to be easy to make at home.

The ingredients include roasted salmon fillet, 1 tablespoon cream cheese, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sriracha, chopped chives, 1 ripe avocado, 1 lemon, salt, sesame seeds, 4 rice paper sheets and frying oil. The text notes that combining fish and dairy is acceptable for those who follow that practice.

To prepare it, the salmon is baked to taste, then blended with the cream cheese, soy sauce and sriracha until smooth. Chives are folded in and the mixture is transferred to a piping bag. Two moistened rice paper sheets are layered, cut into equal rectangles and dried well, optionally with a hair dryer.

The rectangles are fried in very hot sunflower oil until they puff up into crisp pillows. Each puff is pierced, filled with the salmon cream, then topped with mashed avocado mixed with lemon juice and salt. Sesame is sprinkled over the top.
