Salmon Salad Wraps

INGREDIENTS

• 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided
• juice of 1 lemon
• 2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless wild salmon fillets
• 1 large yellow bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeño
• 1 tablespoon rinsed capers, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 12 butter lettuce leaves
• 2 avocados, pitted, peeled, and sliced

Preparation

1. In a large skillet, bring 6 cups of water and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt to a boil over high heat. Add the lemon juice. Gently slide the salmon fillets into the boiling water. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and poach until the salmon is cooked through and opaque, about 5 minutes. Remove from the water and set aside to cool to room temperature, 5 to 10 minutes. When cooled, flake into small pieces.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the bell pepper, onion, jalapeño, capers, lime juice, oil, and remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and mix well. Let the salad stand while the salmon cooks and cools, then gently fold the flaked salmon and cilantro into the salad.
3. Divide the lettuce leaves among four serving plates. Then divide the salmon mixture into 12 portions and spoon a portion onto each leaf. Top the salmon mixture with the sliced avocado, fold the lettuce around the salmon and avocado to form a wrap, and then serve seam-side down.
