Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 whole wheat tortillas or wraps

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

1 medium avocado, sliced

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, for a creamy dressing)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, dried dill, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to ensure the salmon doesn’t stick during cooking.

      Grill the Salmon: Carefully remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the fillets on the hot grill. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and develops appealing grill marks.

        Prepare the Wraps: While the salmon is grilling, lay the whole wheat tortillas or wraps on a clean, flat surface. Divide the fresh spinach leaves evenly among each wrap, creating a bed for the toppings.

          Add Toppings: Once the salmon is grilled to perfection, let it rest for a minute to retain moisture. Using a fork, gently flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces. Evenly distribute the flaked salmon over the spinach in each wrap, followed by the thin cucumber slices and creamy avocado.

            Dress the Wraps: If desired, add a generous dollop of plain Greek yogurt on each wrap for an extra layer of creaminess and flavor.

              Wrap It Up: To assemble, fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom upwards to encase all the delicious fillings. You can slice each wrap in half for easier handling.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve your zesty lemon herb grilled salmon wraps immediately for the best flavor and freshness. These wraps are perfect for a light lunch or a nutritious dinner!
