Description

Light but filling, nutrient-dense and wildly flavorful, these salmon lettuce wraps are on my regular meal prep rotation!


Ingredients

Units Scale

Salmon

  • 1 lb salmon fillets
  • 1/2 teaspoon each kosher salt and black pepper

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 inch knob ginger, freshly grated (or 1 heaping tablespoon ginger purée)
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Wraps

  • Butter lettuce leaves
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 small cucumber, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1/3 cup roasted cashews, chopped
  • garnish: lime, sesame seeds, extra dressing

Instructions

Dressing: add all ingredients to a small blender or food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. Alternatively, you can whisk vigorously or shake the salad ingredients together in a jar. (Blending will make the dressing more emulsified/cohesive but it is delicious either way)

Salmon: preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and add the salmon fillets. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add 1-2 tablespoons honey ginger dressing to each piece, making sure to coat the salmon. Roast salmon for 10-12 minutes until just cooked through. Cooking time might vary depending on the thickness of your fillet (wild caught is usually thinner and cooks quicker while farm-raised is quite a bit thicker and may need a few extra minutes). Internal temp should be 145 degrees when checked with an instant read thermometer. Remove salmon from oven and drizzle with dressing.

Wraps: in each butter lettuce leaf add a spoonful of brown rice, some flaked honey ginger salmon, cucumber, carrots, green onions and cashews. Drizzle the wraps with more dressing and a little lime juice and dig in!


Notes

You will likely have leftover dressing (I did), this is a GOOD thing. This dressing is so good on salads, wraps, rice bowls and beyond. It keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks.
