Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Seasoning
- 2 fresh salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tsp blackening spice
- 1 tbsp oil (for searing)
Wrap and Filling
- 2 large tortillas
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon: Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
- Season the salmon: Evenly rub the blackening spice over both sides of each salmon fillet to cover with a flavorful crust.
- Sear the salmon: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add about 1 tablespoon of oil. Once hot, place salmon fillets skin-side down (if skin-on) and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the exterior is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Distribute the chopped romaine lettuce evenly in the center of each tortilla, then place a cooked salmon fillet on top.
- Add toppings: Drizzle Caesar dressing over the salmon and lettuce, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice from the wedges.
- Wrap and serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to secure the filling. Slice in half if desired and serve the wraps warm for the best flavor.
Notes
- Use skinless salmon fillets for easier wrapping and eating.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of blackening spice based on your heat preference.
- For a lighter version, use a low-fat Caesar dressing or substitute with Greek yogurt-based dressing.
- Make sure to pat the salmon dry before seasoning to ensure a good crust when searing.
- These wraps can be eaten cold or reheated gently in a skillet or microwave.
