Salmon Lettuce Wraps are a baked salmon served with homemade teriyaki sauce and rice. You can also add fresh butter lettuce to the wraps. For an extra flavor and texture, dress them up with sesame seed and green onions.

It’s a superfood that is extremely healthy (omega-3 fat acids, baby); and those who are concerned about cooking fish properly at home will appreciate the changes in color and texture.

This recipe is great for when you have leftover rice or salmon in your fridge. You can cook salmon on Monday by getting the 2 lb fillet. The leftovers can be used to make salmon wraps for lunch over the next 2 days.
