Salmon Lettuce Wraps
These healthy Salmon Lettuce Wraps with sweet and sticky Asian glaze, is a satisfying Asian recipe. Simple, but full of flavors, this is a family favorite Asian dinner recipe. Whenever we visit P.F Chang's These Lettuce Wraps are one of my favorite. They are healthy and low carb meals which is such a great thing, especially in a chain like P.F. Chang's where its all very delicious but sometimes too much carbs owning to deep fried Chicken.
However, quickly this has become my go to grab and go dish! We enjoy Asian Chicken Lettuce wraps the most!
Last weekend, I was craving some takeout food, but being on a budget and month end, prevented me from doing so. However, I opened the fridge and saw this can of Salmon along with a big box of fresh Lettuce.
I knew I had to make my favorite Asian Lettuce Wraps but with Salmon.
Just the idea of a fish Lettuce Wrap with Asian glaze got me super excited.
And it turns out that its actually super easy to make as well!

Unlike P.F. Chang's where the Chicken is deep fried and coated with excessive sweet sauce, I have baked and flaked the salmon.
Still, they are so crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside! So Good!
Also, my sauce uses no additional sugar. Just some Honey to balance out the other flavors.
This easy Lettuce Wrap recipe gets prepared in just 15 minutes from scratch.
