In Vietnam, snakehead fish is used for this dish, but Hong Pham and his wife, Kim Dao--of ravenouscouple.com--love to make it with West Coast Copper River salmon. You can use the salmon and sides to create noodle bowls and spring rolls.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 425°. Oil a large rimmed baking sheet and line with parchment paper, then oil paper lightly. Lay salmon, skinned side down, on sheet. Whisk together remaining salmon ingredients. Slather onto salmon and marinate at least 20 minutes (chilled, up to 1 1/2 hours). Roast until just firm, 12 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and peppers and cook, stirring, until just softened, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups of dill.
Put noodles in a serving bowl. Arrange herbs on a platter. Set noodles, herbs, sauces, and rice papers on the table, leaving room for 2 or 3 wide, shallow bowls of hot water for dipping rice papers.
Carefully loosen salmon from parchment with a thin spatula. Lift parchment with salmon, wide end closest to you, and tilt salmon onto a large platter (it will slide off easily). Arrange vegetables alongside salmon. Sprinkle salmon with remaining dill sprigs and crushed peanuts. Set on the table, along with bowls of hot water for dipping rice papers.
To make spring rolls, quickly dip a rice paper in hot water to barely soften, then layer with small amounts of vegetables, herbs, noodles, and salmon. Roll up in wrapper. (For a how-to illustration, watch Dao layer, fold, and roll at sunset.com/springrollvideo.) Dip rolls into sauces. Or build your own noodle bowl with same ingredients, drizzle with sauces, and top with crackers if you like.
Make ahead: Noodles, up to 1 day, chilled. Sauces, up to 1 week, chilled.
