I was so tired of my good old fashioned home cooked comfort food *gasp!*
Soooo I changed it up a bit.
Chipotle orange salmon and Avocado spring rolls.
Let me tell you, this was absolutely deeeeeeeelicious!
The salmon was spicy, yet sweet and tangy.
The rolls were crunchy on the outside and creamy and smooth on the inside.
Perfect fix for my comfort food rut.
I got the general idea this dinner from Good Housingkeeping, and Life Ann Style. Though I did add, take away, and just changed some things about the recipes.
What you'll need:
3 Salmon filet
2 chipotle chile in adobo sauce
1 tsp red chili paste
2 tsp adobo sauce
3 cloves garlic, peeled (I like garlic, can you tell?)
1/2 cup orange juice
4 avocados
1/2 a red onion
Some jar sundried tomatoes
Cilantro paste
4 pieces of bacon
Spring roll pastries (These are hard to find, But kroger has them in the produce/health food section)
NOW lets start cooking
Line a deep basin cookie sheet with tin foil, this makes for easy clean up!
And throw your salmon on that
Now preheat the oven to broil, we want it HOT
In a food processor or blender squish up the Chipolte chilies, garlic, adobo sauce, chili paste, and orange juice. Spicy yet sweet!
Cover your salmon in the chili paste
Broil for 5-10 min on the middle rack of the oven.
Cut your avocados into chunks, chop up your onions, and tear your bacon.
Mix them all together with your cilantro paste and sun dried tomatoes.
Now, take that mixture and put about a spoon full on a corner of a spring roll pastry
Roll about 1/2 way, then fold in the sides making it stick by using a bit of water on your finger tip
Then finish rolling, again using water to make it stick.
Repeat till all your avocado mixture is gone.
Heat up some veggie oil in a fry pan and drop your spring rolls in it, once the pastry is golden brown they are done.
Yummy yummy yummy.
So fresh, so tasty, soooooooo good.
If you made to many avocado rolls, they freeze really well, and when you want some pop them in the microwave frozen and cook for 2 min (on a 1100 watt microwave)
When you are in the mood for something fresh what do you cook?

Minus the avocado (personal preference) and they look amazing!
It tasted amazing, I could probably come up with a cream cheese spring roll to replace the avocado, that way it would still be creamy and crunchy at the same time.
I might give that a shot in one of my up coming posts! Thanks for the lightbulb idea ;)
