Ingredients
- 4 salmon filets, skin removed and sliced lengthwise
- 1 zucchini
- --Spice for roasting salmon:
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Mix all the spice ingredients together and rub all over the salmon, let marinate for about 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, take the washed zuchini and using a potato peeler peel the zuchinni(flesh and skin) into long thin strips. Immerse the strips in a pot of boiling water for about 2 mins, drain quickly on paper towels and cool.
- Broil the salmon in a baking pan until it is just cooked but not charred. The juices will be in the pan save the juices for serving.
- Take the strips of zuchinni and using a cutting board to support 'weave' the strips just like they appear on a mat, criss-crossing the strips to form an intertwining mat.
- Place the salmon drained of the juices in the center of the first mat and then start rolling the salmon tightly encasing it completely inside the zucchini stip mat.
- Slice cross sections about 1/2 inch thick with a sharp knife to get little roll-ups.
- Serve three rollups in a plate. I didn't have the heart to toss the cooking liquid or essence of flavors. I ended up pouring it around the rolls.
