Smoked Seafood Spring Rolls

Spring Rolls are a simple and delicious way to have a hand-held salad or a crunchy appetizer. It’s typical to see them served with fish, chicken or pork, plus sweet, fatty and oily dips and dressings, but here, the former Golden Door Health Retreat (now known as the Elysia Wellness Retreat) in Australia offers its unique and lighter version, which combines either fresh or smoked fish and a savory ginger, asparagus and coriander filling.  No dip required! Served in small pieces, they are ideal for spa parties. Served in larger batches, they make a nice entree.

Ingredients

• ▢ 20 spring roll wrappers
• ▢ 1 head chinese cabbage (finely shredded)
• ▢ 1-1/2 lbs Smoked Trout or Smoked Salmon, cut to strips (or use fresh, uncooked seafood)
• ▢ 4 tablespoons pickled ginger
• ▢ 1 lb asparagus spears (choose young, thin and delicate spears -- not the heavy woody variety) (trimmed and slivered)
• ▢ 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro (chopped)
• ▢ 1 egg white (lightly beaten)

Instructions

• Pre-heat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). 
• Place the spring roll wrappers on a dry work surface. Put some shredded cabbage on the bottom corner of each wrapper and arrange the fish, ginger, asparagus and coriander over the cabbage.
  
• Start rolling the wrapper from the bottom corner over the filling and continue rolling until you are halfway up. Fold in the left and right hand sides to enclose the filling and then roll up to the top.
• Put the rolls on a baking tray and lightly brush with egg white.  If using Smoked Seafood, bake for about 8 minutes to warm. If using fresh, uncooked seafood, bake for about 15 minutes so that the thin strips of seafood cook thoroughly.

Spa Index Kitchen Notes

We preferred the version with smoked seafood, as using the fresh fish made more liquid than we wanted, and made a "wetter" appetizer.  Don't cook too long, as the smoked fish is already cooked.

Optional:  If you've got the time and inclination, you can skip the egg roll wrappers and use rice paper wrappers, soaked in water, instead, and skip the baking process entirely.
