After the holidays, I always look forward to meals that feel clean, fresh, and full of flavor. These salmon salad wraps are exactly that—simple, nourishing, and satisfying. Wild-caught salmon provides protein and omega-3s, while lettuce, avocado, and a zesty lime dressing keep every bite bright and refreshing. It’s the perfect way to start the year feeling light, energized, and inspired to eat well.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 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
- I tablespoon finely chopped jalapeño
- I tablespoon rinsed capers finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- I tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 12 butter lettuce leaves
- 2 avocados, pitted, peeled, and sliced
Method
Step 1
In a large skillet, bring 6 cups of water and ½ 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.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the bell pepper, onion, jalapeño, capers, lime juice, oil, and remaining ½ 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.
Step 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.

A new year always reminds me to check in with how well my body is repairing and recovering. Daily life—cooking, staying active, traveling, managing stress—creates small forms of wear and tear that our bodies are constantly working to restore. The better we support that natural repair process, the better we tend to feel moving into the year ahead.
A big part of that repair system comes from our stem cells. They act like the body’s internal “repair crew,” helping tissues recover, regenerate, and stay resilient. But their activity naturally declines over time, which can make it harder to bounce back from the everyday demands we place on our bodies. That’s why supporting healthy stem cell function is such an important part of long-term wellness.
This is what led me to Qualia Stem Cell, a formula designed to offer comprehensive nutritional support for this system. It combines 15 non-GMO ingredients researched for their ability to support six key areas of stem cell activity. You take it just four days a month*, and I know the science team behind it—their rigor and commitment to evidence-based formulation stands out.
If you’re looking to start the year with stronger, foundational support for repair, Qualia Stem Cell is a compelling place to begin. Use code HYMAN15 for 15% off, backed by a 100-day money-back guarantee.
