Cook the Salmon

Assemble the Wrap

- Drizzle with our sauce or serve it on the side.

Notes
- For the best results, use fresh or frozen skinless salmon. If using canned or smoked salmon, no cooking is needed—just drain and mix it with the spices.
- Adjust the spice level by increasing or reducing black pepper and smoked paprika. For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper.
- Store leftover cooked salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat cooked salmon in the microwave or on the stovetop for the best flavor before assembling the wraps.
- You can customize the fillings with shredded carrots, tomatoes, sprouts, steamed broccoli, or your favorite veggies for added texture and flavor.
