Salmon Wonton Tacos

Servings 12 Tacos

Ingredients
  

Salmon

  • 8 ouces Salmon
  • 1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 Packed Cup Thai Basil Leaves Stems removed
  • 3/4 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1 Whole Egg
  • 1 Tablespoon Sambal Olek (garlic chili paste) Spice
  • 2 Tablespoons Oil For Sautéing

Poppy Seed Dressing

  • 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise (I Used Best Foods Vegannaise)
  • 3 Tablespoons Honey
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Poppy Seeds
  • 1 Teaspoon White Vinegar

Greens

  • 1/2 Cup Shredded Red Cabbage
  • 1/4 Cup Shredded Carrot
  • 1/2 Cup Shredded Romaine Lettuce
  • Chopped Cilantro and Green Onions Garnish

Taco Shells

  • 12 Square Wonton Wrappers

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the salmon in a food processor, to make your life easier.
  • Combine all the ingredients for the salmon into the food processor and process until fully combined.
  • Sauté the ground salmon in oil until fully cooked, and browned on the outside.
  • Using the smallest frying or sauce pan you have, fry your wonton wrappers to form the shell. I placed the wrapper flat, in the oil, then lifted one corner, folding it in half to form the shell. Flip the shell in the oil to cook both sides until brown, then turn out on a towel to cool and drain excess oil. You don't need much oil to fry them. Just enough to allow the wrapper to float and not touch the bottom of the pan when frying.
  • Dice all your vegetables and prepare your dressing. Make the vegetables uniform in size. Mix the ingredients for your dressing. Fill the shells with the salad greens and salmon, top with dressing or serve it on the side for dipping.
