Have you ever tried to make sushi at home? There’s definitely a learning curve, along with some special ingredients and tools that you need. When I saw a rice paper sushi roll recipe on TikTok, I knew I had to try and recreate my own version! This roll is made with rice paper, seaweed, cooked salmon, regular jasmine rice, and vegetables for an easier option for a sushi-inspired night at home!

Why you’ll love the Salmon Rice Paper Rolls

  • It has sushi vibes, but is easier! I always have trouble rolling sushi rolls, but this is much easier! It’s wrapped in rice paper which is easier to work with and doesn’t require any special tools.
  • It’s packed with veggies and protein. Salmon, avocado, and lots of veggies make this a well-rounded bite.
  • It’s fun to eat. Really, it’s just super fun and yummy.

The Ingredients for the Salmon Rice Paper Rolls

  • Salmon. I use cooked sockeye salmon. However, you can use raw sashimi grade salmon if you prefer, or even canned salmon.
  • Avocado. For a creamy component.
  • Cucumber and Carrot. These add crunch and extra veggies.
  • Seaweed Snacks. You’ll want to buy the smaller seaweed snacks instead of the larger sheets of seaweed to save an extra step. However, you can always cut the large pieces of seaweed if needed.
  • Cooked Jasmine Rice. Or cauliflower rice!
  • Rice Paper. This is key as it holds the roll together.

How to make the Rice Paper Sushi Roll

  • Step One. Cook the salmon and flake.
  • Step Two. Assemble the rolls. To assemble the rolls, dip a piece of rice paper in water for about 5-8 seconds or until soft. Place on a clean surface and add a seaweed piece to the center. Add 2 spoonfuls of rice, then salmon, veggies, avocado, and finally, another piece of seaweed on top.
  • Step Three. Roll tight. Fold in the sides of the rice paper roll and then roll from the bottom into a tight roll. Set aside and repeat.

Can you make this recipe ahead of time?

This recipe is best fresh as the rice paper can dry out over time.

What dipping sauce do you serve this recipe with?

  • Coconut aminos. Or another soy sauce alternative.
  • Chili sauce. 
  • Spicy mayo. 

What do you serve this with?

You can either serve this as a main dish or as an appetizer! I eat it as a main dish and find it to be filling. If you serve it as an appetizer you can pair it with a main dish of your choice like teriyaki chicken stir fry.

Can you make this recipe AIP?

Since rice is a main ingredient here, it would change the recipe a lot to remove it.

However, you can try this!

  • Use cauliflower rice instead of jasmine rice.
  • Use a coconut wrap to make a handroll instead of using rice paper.
