Ingredients
  

1 lb salmon fillet, skinless

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

8-10 large romaine or butter lettuce leaves

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, lime juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). This will be your marinade.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.

      Cook the Salmon: Preheat your grill or a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Depending on the thickness, adjust the cooking time accordingly.

        Prepare the Wraps: While the salmon is cooking, prep the lettuce leaves by rinsing and patting them dry. Lay them on a serving platter.

          Assemble the Wraps: Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a minute, then use a fork to flake it into bite-sized pieces. Add portions of the flaked salmon on each lettuce leaf. Top with shredded carrots, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro.

            Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the wraps and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your delicious Sweet Chili Salmon Lettuce Wraps!
