Ingredients

For the Salmon
  • 1 lb salmon fillet skinless, cut into small cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder for seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper to taste
For the Avocado Cream
  • 1 ripe avocado peeled and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt for creaminess
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt to taste
For the Vegetables
  • 1 cup shredded carrots for crunch
  • 1 cup cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1 cup red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 8 large romaine lettuce leaves for wrapping

Method

Prepare the Salmon
  1. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. This will help to cook the salmon evenly without sticking.
  2. Season the salmon cubes with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to ensure even coating.
  3. Add the salmon to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. This ensures the salmon is tender and flavorful.
Make the Avocado Cream
  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, lime juice, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and salt.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy. This will create a rich and zesty sauce that complements the salmon.
Assemble the Wraps
  1. Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves on a clean surface. These will serve as the wraps.
  2. Spoon a portion of the cooked salmon onto each lettuce leaf.
  3. Top with shredded carrots, cucumber slices, red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro for added crunch and flavor.
  4. Drizzle the avocado cream over the top of the fillings.
  5. Fold the lettuce leaves around the filling to create a wrap. Serve immediately for the best texture.
