Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon honey

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 head of butter lettuce, leaves separated

1 avocado, sliced

½ cup shredded carrots

½ cup cucumber, thinly sliced

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

    Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon on the grill and cook for about 4 to 6 minutes per side or until it flakes easily with a fork. It's important not to overcook the salmon; it should remain moist. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

      Make the Lemon Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Drizzle this mixture over the grilled salmon, allowing it to soak in while you prepare the wraps.

        Assemble the Wraps: To assemble, take a lettuce leaf and place a piece of salmon in the center. Top with avocado slices, shredded carrots, and cucumber slices. If desired, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for added flavor.

          Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the assembled wraps for an extra zing. Serve immediately on a platter with additional lime wedges on the side.
