Ginger salmon lettuce wraps

This is a dish built around a sharp, punchy nước chấm that does double duty: it marinates chunks of salmon and becomes your dipping sauce. Set everything out on a platter and let people build their own wraps, making bites over their bowls to catch all the juicy goodness that drips from the lettuce leaves. The serrano chile gives it a real kick, especially if you leave the seeds in. Use whatever vegetables look good to you -- cucumbers, radishes, carrots, tomatoes or anything else that’s fresh and crisp. This meal is wonderful at room temperature and perfect for casual eating with friends and family, using your hands and getting messy. Any leftovers make a great lunch the next day.
