Although Salmon is not native to Vietnam, we’ve grown to love and cherish its flavor and health aspects of it. Its fatty content and easy to prepare meat makes it one of my go to fish for grilling/air-frying. I love a good “gỏi cuốn” (spring roll) with grilled salmon and all the veggies, mints, herbs that goes with it! A good dipping fish sauce is also essential!
