Ingredients 

Salmon Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ pound salmon,
  • 1 head butter lettuce, washed and separated into individual leaves
  • 1 cup white rice, cooked
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha, optional for garnish

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce, Omit if using store-bought:

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Mirin
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder, ground
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha, optional, adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water, to make a cornstarch slurry

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, add the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce, except for the cornstarch and water (slurry), mix well. Over low heat, simmer for 2-3 minutes. In a small bowl, add the cornstarch and water, and mix well, slowly whisk into the teriyaki sauce, cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the teriyaki sauce is thickened. Let cool for 2-4 minutes.
  • Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the teriyaki sauce over them. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  • Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before flaking the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
  • Lay out the lettuce leaves on a large plate or cutting board. Spoon a small amount of cooked white rice onto each lettuce leaf.
  • Place a portion of flaked salmon on top of the rice. Add garnishes on top of the salmon.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the wraps. Drizzle with sriracha if you like a bit of heat.
