Salmon Burritos
Description
This recipe highlights seasoned salmon fillets grilled until cooked and slightly charred, coated with a fajita seasoning that adds smoky and spicy notes. The accompanying salad combines crisp little gem lettuce, creamy diced avocado, juicy tomatoes, and sharp scallions, tossed with fresh lime juice and seasoned with sea salt and pepper for brightness. This fresh vegetable mix contrasts the richness of the salmon.
The salmon burrito is built by spreading a blended coriander and plain yogurt sauce on the tortilla wraps. The salad and spring onions are layered on top, followed by the salmon flaked into bite-sized pieces. Wrapping these ingredients together creates a flavorful balance between smoky fish, creamy sauce, and crunchy vegetables.
Possible variations include adding cooked grains or roasted vegetables for extra filling, incorporating spicy chipotle into the sauce, or substituting the salmon for other proteins like white fish, prawns, chicken, or tofu.
