- 2 Vital Choice wild salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 2 teaspoons Vital Choice organic extra virgin olive or sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon five spice powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce (optional; double the peanut butter and soy sauce as a substitute)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon natural soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 to 2 tablespoons hot red chili paste
- 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup julienne carrots
- 1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts

Instructions
- Preheat broiler.
- Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Salmon under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Place salmon on oil-coated broiling pan, skin side down, and broil 5 inches from heat source for about 5 minutes. Remove from oven; drain any excess liquid.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Spread oil over salmon; rub five spice and salt onto fish. Place in oven and bake an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout. Remove skin, if any, and break into large chunks.
- In a food processor, process peanut butter, hoisin sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, ginger and chili paste until smooth; stir in rice vinegar until mixture has sauce consistency.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine carrots, peanuts, cilantro, onion, peppers, and snow peas; add about 2 tablespoons peanut butter sauce, tossing to coat. Add salmon chunks to vegetable mixture.
- To serve, place lettuce leaves on serving platter; top with salmon mixture. Serve as a lettuce wrap or open-faced salad. Drizzle with additional sauce.
