• Shredded cabbage
• Scallion
• Unsalted butter
• Garlic
• Honey
• Hot sauce
• Red pepper flakes
• Romaine lettuce

Choosing Your Salmon

You will need about 2 cups of diced cooked salmon for these wraps. We love using leftover cooked salmon in particular because it helps these wraps come together in only minutes!

To cook salmon for this recipe, arrange about 1 lb salmon fillets in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast salmon at 400F 10-15 minutes until salmon registers 130F and allow to cool before proceeding with recipe.

Tips for Perfect Salmon Wraps

1. Simmer hot honey – allow the sauce to cook until bubbly and slightly thickened.
2. Keep hot honey warm – the hot honey will solidify as it cools. If this happens, return it to liquid form by heating on stovetop or microwaving 15 seconds on high.
3. Don’t overfill wraps – if you put too much filling in the wraps, the tortillas will break when you try to fold them. Make sure you leave enough of a tortilla border around filling so you can fold it.
4. Fold wraps burrito-style – this means folding the horizontal sides of wrap inwards and then tightly rolling tortilla vertically over filling, using your fingers to push filling into tortilla as necessary while rolling.
5. Cut wraps in half for serving – this makes for a beautiful cross-section and makes the wrap easier to eat.

Recipe Variations

Try these ideas for a different twist on these wraps.

• Adjust heat level – use a mild hot sauce and skip the red pepper flakes for a milder version or use additional hot sauce and more red pepper flakes to taste for a spicier version.
• Add more veggies – try adding shredded carrot, sweet pepper, artichokes, or spinach.
• Make it in salad form – build this wrap in salad form by piling ingredients over spring greens or chopped romaine.
• Use a different meat – try cooked chicken or steak in place of the salmon.

Storing Wraps

Due to the creamy slaw and hot honey glaze, we recommend serving wraps as soon as they are assembled if possible for best results. If you would like to meal prep them for lunches we recommend doing so no more than 1 day in advance.

The sweet heat from the sauce combined with the flaky salmon and all that creamy slaw and avocado business is like something out of a DREAM all rolled up in these glorious lunch wraps.

Trust me, this is one lunch you need in your life possibly forever.
