Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
For the salmon
4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz each
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the garlic yogurt sauce
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped
A pinch of salt
A pinch of black pepper
For the wraps
4 large whole wheat or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup cucumber, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
Directions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Season the salmon fillets evenly with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Place the salmon in the hot skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until fully cooked and flaky. Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice.
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill or parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave. Lay each tortilla flat and spread a generous spoonful of garlic yogurt sauce over the surface. Add shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Place a cooked salmon fillet on top and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
Fold or roll the tortillas tightly into wraps. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately, with extra garlic yogurt sauce on the side.
You can substitute the salmon with grilled chicken or baked falafel for a different protein option. For extra flavor, add sliced olives or roasted red peppers to the wraps. If you prefer a lighter option, serve the fillings over a salad instead of using tortillas.
Storage/Reheating
Store leftover salmon and vegetables separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The garlic yogurt sauce can be stored for up to 3 days. Reheat the salmon gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave, then assemble fresh wraps just before serving. It’s best not to reheat fully assembled wraps to avoid sogginess.
FAQs

Bell peppers, spinach, or shredded carrots are great additions or substitutes.

Fresh herbs are recommended, but you can use about one teaspoon of dried herbs if needed.
How do I keep the wraps from falling apart?
Avoid overfilling and warm the tortillas before assembling to make them more flexible.
Can this recipe be served cold?
Yes, it can be enjoyed cold, especially as a packed lunch, though the salmon is best when freshly cooked.
