• Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps
• 2 cups shredded lettuce (romaine or green leaf works great)

For the Mango Salsa:

• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 small red bell pepper, diced
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional for a little heat)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)

How I Make It

Step 1:

First things first, preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then rub them with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. This blend gives the salmon a beautiful smoky color and flavor. Place the fillets on the baking sheet and roast for about 8-10 minutes or until they’re just cooked through and flaky.

Step 2:

While the salmon is roasting, get started on the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro. Squeeze in the fresh lime juice, sprinkle the salt, and add honey if you want a hint of sweetness. Mix gently, tasting to adjust seasoning—this salsa should be bright, zesty, and colorful.

Step 3:

Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave just until soft and pliable—that makes wrapping them so much easier. Lay out the wraps and place a handful of shredded lettuce in the center of each.

Step 4:

Once the salmon is out of the oven, use a fork to gently break each fillet into chunks. Layer the salmon chunks over the lettuce on each wrap.

Step 5:

Spoon a generous amount of the mango salsa over the salmon. This is where the magic happens—the sweet, spicy, and tangy fruit salsa complements the salmon’s richness perfectly.

Step 6:

Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up snugly. For extra security, you can wrap them in parchment paper or foil before serving, especially if you’re taking them to go. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, juicy bites with every mouthful!

Variations & Tips

• Swap salmon for grilled chicken or shrimp if you prefer.
• Use corn or whole wheat tortillas for a gluten-free or heartier feel.
• Add sliced avocado or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
• If you like it spicy, leave the jalapeño seeds in or add a dash of hot sauce.
• Prepare the salsa a few hours ahead to let flavors meld beautifully.
• For a crunchy twist, sprinkle some toasted pumpkin seeds or chopped nuts inside the wrap.

How I Like to Serve It

These wraps are perfect for easy weeknight dinners or even a casual weekend lunch with friends. They pair beautifully with a crisp green salad or some oven-baked sweet potato fries for a balanced meal. When summer’s in full swing, I love serving them with an icy cold lemonade or sparkling water infused with mint and cucumber. Light, fresh, and totally satisfying!

Notes

• Store leftover salmon and salsa separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• To reheat salmon, use a low oven (around 275°F) to gently warm it without drying out.
