What’s Inside These Mediterranean Salmon Wraps
The flavors in these salmon wraps are incredible. You will need:
- Cooked or baked salmon. I kept the flavors simple and only added salt and pepper to my salmon. Then baked it. However, you can definitely make this recipe with any kind of cooked salmon. Even canned might work for a more budget-friendly option, but I haven’t really tried it.
- Tzatziki. Make it yourself using yogurt, garlic, dill, salt and cucumber. It really takes 5 minutes and you can do it while the salmon is baking.
- A fresh vegetable salad. Sometimes I make a salad with cucumbers, avocado, olives, jalapeno, parsley, garlic and lemon…other times with tomatoes, cucumbers, leafy greens and fresh herbs, onion and avocado. It really depends on what you have at home, feel free to make the vegetable salad that you enjoy most.
Wrap all of that in a tortilla or in flatbread and don’t be surprised if you want to eat these every single day.
How To Make Mediterranean Salmon Wraps
Start with the salmon. You can bake it, grill or sear it in a nonstick pan on the stove. I decided to bake it and to chop the salmon filet into bite-sized pieces.Flavored mine pretty simply – with some black pepper, salt and a little bit of lemon juice. However, you might like to add some dried basil or dill and rub in gently some minced garlic. The baking took about 15-20 minutes 350F/180C. Whichever method you decide, cook the salmon until golden brown. Baking did require the least amount of work though.
While the salmon is cooking prepare your vegetables. You need some thinly chopped cucumber and dill for the tzatziki as well as some minced garlic. And for the fresh salad, you can use more roughly chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, diced avocado, olives, herbs, salad greens.
To make the tzatziki, add the yogurt, dill, cucumber, salt and garlic to a small bowl and mix with a fork.
With the salad I have two options that you might like to try. One with avocado, parsley, the cucumbers, olives, jalapeno, lemon juice, garlic, salt and olive oil. And the other option is with salad greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, scallions, fresh mint, olives, arugula and avocado.
Now everything is ready, so that once the salmon is done you can make the wraps in no time. Just fill a tortilla with salmon, some salad and the tzatziki. Wrap and enjoy!
Meal Prep Option
You can even meal prep these Mediterranean wraps! Bake or cook the salmon any way you enjoy it and prepare the tzatziki. Keep both of these in separate containers and store them in the fridge for 3-4 days. As for the fresh vegetables, you can wash and cut some herbs, greens, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions and use whole cherry tomatoes if you’d like to add some. Pat the vegetables dry then add to an airtight container and store in the fridge.
When the time is right and you want to eat – reheat the salmon, warm up your tortillas and fill the wraps with as much of everything as you enjoy!
I hope you enjoy these as much as me and my family do!
