Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red bell pepper and cucumber into thin strips.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Once the salmon is cooked, flake it into bite-sized pieces using a fork.
Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread half of the avocado mixture evenly across the tortilla.
Add half of the spinach, red bell pepper strips, cucumber, flaked salmon, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh dill.
Drizzle with a bit of the remaining olive oil for added flavor.
Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with the second tortilla and remaining ingredients.
Slice each roll into manageable pieces before serving, or serve whole with a side salad for a complete meal.
