Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 fillets (about 6 ounces each) Alaska salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 peppers Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 4 large Flour tortillas
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 large Avocado
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drizzle the Alaska salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the chipotle sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the chipotle peppers, mayonnaise, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Warm the flour tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave to make them pliable.
Prepare the vegetables: slice the tomato and red onion thinly, shred the romaine lettuce leaves, and cut the avocado into thick slices.
Once the salmon has cooled slightly, flake it into large chunks using a fork.
Assemble the wraps: place a tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread about 2 tablespoons of chipotle sauce in the center.
Layer the wrap with a romaine lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, red onion, avocado, and a generous portion of flaked salmon.
Gently roll the tortilla tightly into a wrap. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
Slice each wrap in half on a diagonal. Serve immediately with extra chipotle sauce on the side, if desired.
