Teriyaki Salmon Lettuce Wraps
These honey teriyaki salmon lettuce wraps are made with perfectly flaky salmon, crisp lettuce, rice, and a homemade teriyaki sauce. They're gluten and soy-free, and so perfect for an easy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
For the sauce
- ⅓ cup coconut aminos
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp arrowroot starch
- 1 small thumb ginger grated
- 1 clove garlic grated
For the wraps
- ½ tbsp avocado oil
- 2 salmon filets
- salt & pepper
- 4 butter lettuce leaves
- 1 cup steamed rice sub cooked cauliflower rice
- ½ cup shredded carrot
- 1 tbsp green onion chopped
Instructions
- Combine the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, honey, arrowroot, garlic and ginger powder and stir well. Set aside.
- Using a large pan set over medium-high heat, add the avocado to the base of the pan. Use tongs to place a piece of parchment paper cut to fit the pan, and flip to coat the paper in oil.
- Pat the salmon well and season with salt and pepper. Add the salmon skin side down to the parchment paper and cook for 4-6 minutes. The skin should be crisp and releases easily from the parchment. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until the fish flakes easily & is cooked through. Set aside.
- Clean out the pan and add the teriyaki sauce on low heat. Whisk well for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Turn off the heat and add the salmon to the pan, coating in the sauce.
- Remove the salmon from the pan and divide into 4 portions to fit into the lettuce wraps.
- Assemble the lettuce wraps by using one lettuce cup then adding about 1/4 cup of rice, salmon, green onion, and shredded. Repeat for all of the lettuce cups and serve fresh!
Notes
You can cook the salmon using any method that you prefer. Air fryer salmon will also work for this recipe.
If you plan to save leftovers for later, store all of the components separately and reheat to serve.
