Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., tilapia or cod)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 leaves butterhead or romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.5 medium cucumber, julienned
- 0.25 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pat the white fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season with paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
While the fish cools, prepare the zesty dressing by mixing mayonnaise, lime juice, and optional hot sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
Wash the lettuce leaves and pat them dry. Arrange them on a clean plate or cutting board.
Divide the sliced bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, avocado, and cilantro evenly among the lettuce leaves, placing the vegetables in the center of each leaf.
Flake the cooked fish into large chunks and distribute evenly over the prepared lettuce wraps.
Drizzle the zesty dressing over the fish and vegetables.
Carefully fold or roll the lettuce leaves around the fillings to form wraps. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Zesty Fish Wraps!
