🥢 Easy Salmon Spring Rolls

These spring rolls are a light, protein-rich twist on a classic—fresh, satisfying, and ideal for those who want to eat clean without sacrificing flavor. Wrapped in delicate rice paper and packed with fresh herbs and flaky salmon, these rolls are everything a primal-style dish should be: minimal processing, maximum nutrition, and full of natural flavor. Paired with umami-rich tamari for dipping, they make a delicious lunch, snack, or post-workout fuel-up.

Even though traditional rice paper isn’t strictly low-carb, its carb load is minimal per roll and it's often tolerated well in primal-style eating when filled with whole proteins and fresh herbs. If you’re strict keto, you can adapt this recipe using thin-cut cucumber or nori sheets instead.

🍃 Fresh Coriander (Cilantro)

Coriander isn’t just aromatic—it has serious detoxifying power. It's known for helping the body eliminate heavy metalsand for its natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. It also supports digestion and can freshen breath naturally—bonus!

🐟 Salmon

A king among primal proteins. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) which support brain health, reduce inflammation, and improve cardiovascular function. It’s also an excellent source of complete protein, vitamin D, and selenium, keeping your muscles strong and immune system sharp.

✅ Tip: Go for wild-caught salmon whenever possible for the highest omega-3 content and cleaner sourcing.

🥥 Coconut Oil

One of the most beloved fats in the primal world, coconut oil provides medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs)—a type of fat the body uses quickly for energy, rather than storing. It also has antimicrobial properties and can support healthy metabolism.

🥣 Tamari (Gluten-Free Soy Sauce Alternative)

Tamari offers that same deep umami flavor as soy sauce, but without the gluten—and typically with fewer additives. It’s rich in fermented compounds and can provide a dose of umami satisfaction without needing much salt elsewhere.

🫧 Rice Paper

Rice paper isn’t entirely primal, but when used in small amounts, it’s a much better alternative to bread or tortillas—especially if you're aiming for a light carb load. It’s naturally gluten-free and very low in fat, making it an okay occasional wrapper for high-protein, herb-packed fillings.

These spring rolls prove you can keep meals simple, fresh, and primal with very little prep. They're great for busy days, light meals, or even elegant appetizers for guests.
