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.

🧊 How to Store Lettuce Wraps

  • Salmon filling - you can store the roasted, flakes Salmon, in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-6 days. Store the lettuce leaves separately. Here's how to perfectly store Lettuce fresh for long.

FREEZE - You can freeze the leftover Salmon filling, in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Do not freeze the Lettuce leaves.

REHEAT - Reheat in the microwave with a splash of water or in the skillet over low heat until heated through.

How to use Leftover?

Leftovers can be mixed with Rice or Noodles and bulked up. For Low Carb alternative, you can use Quinoa. It bulks up the leftovers and is loved by all.

You can also mix leftovers with scrambled eggs.

What goes well with Lettuce Wrap?

Lettuce Wraps is a wholesome meal in itself, because it has Rice as well as Fish. Also, Lettuce Wraps can be enjoyed as a healthy appetizer on its own.

💯 FAQs in brief

What Lettuce is best for Lettuce Wraps?

Iceberg Lettuce. Its got perfectly round shaped leaves which holds the filling nicely.

Are Lettuce Wraps better than bread?

Yes of course! Bread is full of calories while Lettuce is so healthy.

How do you keep Lettuce Wraps from falling apart?

Use fresh Crisp Lettuce leaves. Do not use limp leaves as they easily fall apart. Also, do not over stuff the leaves with filling.
