Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Seasoning
- 2 fresh salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tsp blackening spice
- 1 tbsp cooking oil (vegetable or olive oil)
Wrap Ingredients
- 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 and pat dry the salmon fillets thoroughly to remove excess moisture, ensuring a better sear.
- Season the Salmon: Rub the blackening spice evenly over both sides of each salmon fillet to coat them with flavorful seasoning.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until the outside is crispy and the inside is cooked through.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Place chopped romaine lettuce in the center of each tortilla, then top with the cooked salmon fillets.
- Add Toppings: Drizzle Caesar dressing over the salmon and lettuce, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and squeeze fresh lemon juice on top for extra brightness.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to secure the filling inside. Slice the wraps in half if desired, and serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier wrap, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the blackening spice.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas as alternatives if desired.
- You can substitute Caesar dressing with Greek yogurt mixed with anchovy paste for a lighter option.
- Salmon can be grilled instead of pan-seared for a smokier flavor.
- Leftover wraps can be refrigerated and consumed within 24 hours for best freshness.
