Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skinless

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

8 large romaine or butter lettuce leaves

1 avocado, sliced

½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced

¼ cup scallions, finely chopped

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Preheat your grill or a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and season it with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Make the Lemon Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined. Reserve a couple of tablespoons for drizzling later.

      Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon on the hot grill and brush generously with the lemon glaze. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

        Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: While the salmon is resting, rinse and dry the lettuce leaves. Lay them flat on a serving platter.

          Assemble the Wraps: Flake the grilled salmon using a fork and place a generous portion onto each lettuce leaf. Top with avocado slices, bell pepper strips, and chopped scallions.

            Garnish and Serve: Drizzle the reserved lemon glaze over the assembled wraps and sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves on top for a burst of freshness.

              Enjoy: Serve these vibrant salmon lettuce wraps immediately, allowing your guests to fold and enjoy them as a healthy and flavorful treat.
