Flaked wild salmon with crunchy veggies and hot peppers, all cradled in a chewy tortilla wrap. Not to forget the spicy mayo sauce that comes on the side (because really, you can't forget that). The crunchy vegetables are hit with a quick 10-minute pickling for extra tang, and fresh herbs join the flavor party. Healthy and tasty.

For the Salmon
- 1 pound raw salmon
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed or avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice For the Pickled Vegetables
- 2 cups raw vegetables, thinly sliced (such as cucumber, carrot, and/or radish)
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt For the Mayo Sauce
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 4 teaspoons coconut aminos
- 4 teaspoons sesame oil
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder The Rest
- 1 cup fresh herbs (basil and/or cilantro)
- 1/2 jalapeño, chopped
- 4 large tortillas or wraps of choice
Instructions
- Step 1: Thinly slice or shred all of the veggies for the pickled vegetables. After slicing, combine the vegetables with the vinegar and salt in a sealable jar. Shake and refrigerate.
- Step 2: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the salmon skin side down in an oven-proof pan or baking sheet. Stir together the 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Pour this top of the salmon, making sure the top is slick with the liquid.
- Step 3: Roast the salmon 12 to 14 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon. Set aside to cool.
- Step 4: Meanwhile, stir together the Spicy Mayo Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate.
- Step 5: Remove and discard the skin from the salmon (it should peel right off). Flake the cooked salmon into a bowl. Add in 4 tablespoons of the prepared Spicy Mayo Sauce and mash everything with a fork until a creamy texture is formed (reference image above).
- Step 6: Assembly time! Spread some salmon mash almost in the middle of your tortilla/wrap. Top the salmon with some of the pickled vegetables (drained), herbs, and jalapeño. Leave a border along the sides for easier rolling. Drizzle extra Spicy Mayo Sauce on top if desired.
- Step 7: Fold the wrap up like a burrito, tucking in the sides as you roll it (here's a video that shows how to roll a burrito).
- Serve: Cut it in half, serve alongside extra Mayo Sauce for dipping, and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: If fresh salmon in unavailable, every 1 pound of fresh salmon may be substituted with 2 (5 ounce) cans of canned wild salmon or tuna, well-drained. If using canned, skip the salmon cooking instructions. Note 2: The Spicy Mayo Sauce is delicious, but if you're short on time and ingredients, you can use 3-Ingredient Spicy Mayo.

This recipe is a re-imagining of my favorite wrap from the popular Erewhon Market of Los Angeles. Here's what we have: flaked wild salmon with crunchy veggies and hot peppers, all cradled in a chewy tortilla wrap. Not to forget the spicy mayo sauce that comes on the side (because really, you can't forget that). The crunchy vegetables are hit with a quick 10-minute pickling for extra tang, and fresh herbs join the flavor party. It's all so tasty that it's hard to believe it's healthy.
