INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Saute the onions, garlic and ginger for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the sherry and reduce by one-third. Add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the fish sauce, black beans, and herbs. Taste for seasonings. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the salmon fillets to season. Dip the rice paper rounds into a bowl of hot water. Remove from water and put them on a flat surface and wait 1 to 2 minutes until the sheets absorb the water. Move the first sheet of rice paper to the center of the work space. Put a couple cilantro leaves in the middle of the rice paper. Put a salmon fillet top-side down in the middle of the rice paper covering the cilantro leaves. Fold up the four sides of the rice paper sheet to form a packet. Turn the packet over and store under a barely dampened towel while you do the remaining three fillets. Heat the oil in a saute pan. Sear the top sides of the salmon packets for 2 to 3 minutes until the paper becomes translucent. Turn the packets over and finish cooking on the stove or in a 350 degree oven for 5 to 8 minutes. If you like your salmon well done, cook for 2 to 4 minutes longer. Blanch the vegetables in boiling water. Drain and toss with sesame oil, salt and pepper. Assembly: Ladle the Chinese black bean sauce onto each of 4 large dinner plates, tilting the plate so the sauce spreads out evenly. Put the salmon packet slightly off center. Add 1 head of baby bok choy and some of the tat soi or spinach. This recipe yields 4 servings.
