These Vietnamese Salmon Summer Rolls are even quicker to make than the traditional ones and don't require any cooking. Loaded with fresh veggies and nutrient-packed salmon these make a flavourful, crunchy and refreshing light meal or snack.
Bright, fresh and super crunchy, Vietnamese summer rolls are healthy, nutritious and totally addicting.
I love making them on busy days and take them with me as a quick lunch on the go.
It's also one of my favourite finger food to share whenever I have friends coming over because they're so easy to customize with all sorts of ingredients and flavours.

Ready in just 15 minutes, this easy Vietnamese-inspired recipe is conveniently gluten-free and dairy-free.
It requires only a bunch of simple ingredients: crunchy fresh veggies, rice paper wraps, steamed salmon fillets and a refreshing lime & coriander dressing (or your favourite dipping sauce).
Start with the veggies. I used spinach leaves, purple cabbage and carrots, but feel free to use any kind of veggies you like.
I kept my rolls pretty basic, and didn't add any fresh herbs (mainly because there's already cilantro in the dip), but you can add your favourite fresh herb: cilantro, mint, basil all work well.
For the fish, I used The Saucy Fish Co.’s steamed salmon fillets paired with a lime and cilantro dressing.
Each pack comes with an evenly portioned pair of fresh fish fillets, along with a sauce that is ready to use cold or hot.
It's made only from sustainable, ethically sourced salmon from Norway and Scotland, and there are no nasty ingredients or additives. Such a great option for whenever you fancy a quick salmon meal.
For the rice paper wraps, you should be able to find them at your local Asian store, or in big supermarkets (look for the international aisle).
I usually opt for the large 22cm wraps, but the small ones are perfect for party-sized summer rolls.
For the sauce, I used the refreshing and tangy lime & coriander dressing paired with the steamed salmon fillets, which give a nice zing to these Vietnamese Salmon Summer Rolls.
Other sauces that work well are sweet chilli, sriracha and of course, the basic Vietnamese dipping sauce called Nuoc Cham.
These Vietnamese Salmon Summer Rolls are so crunchy and refreshing that you would want to prepare them again and again.
They're a perfect spring/summer snack to bring at the office/ school or to serve at parties and picnics.

Vietnamese Salmon Summer Rolls
Ingredients
- 4 skin-on steamed salmon fillets , (125 gr each)
- 3 carrots
- ½ purple cabbage
- 100 g baby spinach leaves
- 10 rice paper wraps
To serve:
- 1 cup lime & coriander dressing, or your favourite sauce
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Start by prepping all the veggies. Finely slice the cabbage, peel the carrots and cut into thin matchsticks, and set both veggies aside.
- Remove the skin from the salmon and cut into small chunks, and set aside.
- Pour very warm water in a large bowl. Dip rice paper wrap in the water for 10-15 sec and then spread it gently on a clean cutting board.
- On one side of the wet rice paper wrap, layer few spinach leaves, 4-5 carrot matchsticks and few slices of cabbage. Top with salmon chunks and brush with a little lime & coriander dressing, or your favourite sauce.
- Roll the bottom of the rice paper over the salmon & veggies, then fold in the left and right side, and continue to fold over and roll until your summer roll is sealed.
- Repeat the method for each roll.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges and lime & coriander dressing (or your favourite sauce) on the side.

I love Vietnamese cuisine. They are so simple and yummy
I've never made salad rolls with salmon, but what a perfectly wonderful idea. These look so fresh and tasty.
In love with them, with the look of the image shared, haven't tried Vietnamese cuisine but have always wanted to, looking forward to try it out 😀
Great video! I've never had Vietnamese before.Thanks for sharing the recipe. It looks really good.
I love Vietnamese spring rolls and I would definitely love this one. I need to check and try this at home. Thanks for the recipe!
Ohh la la i love these rolls! These remind sme of the rolls I've shared on my blog months ago. Delicioso!
oh I have always been a fan of Vietnamese rice paper rolls. They are so yummy and healthy. These ones look so simple and yet lovely.
Such lovely flavours to make a delicious summer lunch. They would make a great dish for a summer evening get together with friends. I always think the rice wraps look so delicate, but find they work well as long as you don't get too rough with them.
These summer rolls look amazing. I am sure they taste amazing too. My only problem is that I would be too nervous to screw up with the wraps. It's probably why I have never made sushi before because I worry I would screw it up.
Oh no, don't worry about it! They look delicate, but they're quite elastic and rarely break up in the wrapping process. Give it a try, they're really tasty and fun to make :)!
I can't eat these because I'm a vegetarian, but salmon is my boyfriend's absolute favourite! He would love these so much. They look so fresh and bright - very pretty little rolls. 🙂
What I love the most about summer rolls is that they're super easy to customize 🙂 You can make vegetarian/vegan version in less than a blink!
Yum!! I have to try these. Super easy to make and very pretty!!
This is not my kind of snack but it do have to admit I was impressed with the rice paper sheets. I have never see one. Honestly!!
This recipe looks yummy! I have rice paper wraps leftover from a recipe I tried and they would be perfect for this recipe. Thanks for sharing
Slourp! These seem delicious! I haven't had any vietnamese in my life so maybe I should start with these?
Definitely! I never had vietnamese summer rolls before last year, then I completely fell in love! This was my first time ever making them at home and I'm completely addicted now 🙂
These look so fresh and colourful! I love them!
Oo these look so delicious! I must try them out! And they're cool to look at.
Wow, these look fantastic! I love the ingredients in the photos. They look very fresh and healthy.
This looks so fresh and easy to make. I recently had Vietnamese rolls and totally loved them.
