Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) skinless, boneless salmon fillet

3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 garlic clove, minced

8 large butter lettuce leaves (or romaine lettuce)

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup cucumber, julienned

½ cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced

¼ cup green onions, finely chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillet on the sheet and lightly season it with salt to enhance flavor.

    Make the Marinade: In a separate small bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Whisk these ingredients together until they are fully blended into a smooth marinade.

      Marinate the Salmon: Pour half of the prepared marinade evenly over the salmon fillet. Allow it to marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate it for up to an hour to deepen the flavors.

        Bake the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. For extra flavor, baste the salmon with additional marinade halfway through the baking time.

          Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: While the salmon is baking, rinse and dry the lettuce leaves thoroughly. Once clean, arrange the leaves neatly on a serving platter for easy assembly.

            Construct the Wraps: After removing the salmon from the oven, let it cool slightly before gently flaking it into large pieces with a fork. In each lettuce leaf, layer some shredded carrots, julienned cucumber, and sliced red bell pepper.

              Add Salmon: Top each lettuce leaf with generous amounts of the flaked salmon. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the top, ensuring each wrap gets a punch of flavor. Finish by sprinkling chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the wraps.

                Garnish & Serve: If desired, add fresh cilantro leaves on top for an extra layer of flavor and a pop of color. Serve the lettuce wraps immediately, inviting guests to fold them up and indulge in their own delicious creations!
