Ingredients
  

  • For the Grilled Salmon:
  • 2 medium salmon fillets (about 200 g / 7 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the Caesar Salad Filling:
  • 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • ¼ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup croutons, crushed slightly for texture
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For Assembly:
  • 4 large whole-wheat or flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • Optional additions:
  • Sliced avocado
  • Fresh lemon wedges
  • Extra Caesar dressing for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Salmon Marinade : In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the salmon fillets. Let the salmon marinate for 10–15 minutes to absorb flavor.
  • Step 2: Grill the Salmon : Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. The salmon should flake easily with a fork when done. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Flake the salmon into large chunks.
  • Step 3: Prepare the Caesar Salad Filling : In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons. Toss until everything is evenly coated. Add flaked grilled salmon gently and mix lightly to combine without breaking the fish too much.
  • Step 4: Assemble the Wraps ; Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the salmon Caesar salad mixture into the center. Optional: Add avocado slices or an extra drizzle of dressing. Fold the sides inward and roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Step 5: Grill or Serve Fresh : For a warm, toasty wrap: Lightly grill each assembled wrap for 1–2 minutes per side in a pan until golden and crisp. For a fresh, cold wrap: Serve immediately with lemon wedges and extra dressing on the side.
