How to Make This sheet pan salmon wraps Recipe

Follow these simple steps to create your own delicious sheet pan salmon wraps:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. In a large bowl, combine the salmon cubes, sliced bell peppers, red onion, and broccoli florets.

3. Drizzle the mixture with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.

4. Spread the salmon and vegetable mixture in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. It's important not to overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.

5. Bake for 12 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender crisp.

6. While the salmon and vegetables are baking, warm the tortillas according to package directions. You can warm them in a dry skillet, a microwave, or even wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven.

7. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool slightly.

8. To assemble the wraps, place a portion of the salmon and vegetable mixture in the center of a warm tortilla.

10. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

How to Serve This sheet pan salmon wraps Recipe

These sheet pan salmon wraps are a fantastic meal all on their own! But if you're looking to round out the meal, consider serving them with a side of rice. The fresh lime wedges add a zing to the wraps. You can also serve Sheet Pan Shrimp Rice Bowl as a companion to this recipe.

Consider serving with a side of chips and your favorite salsa for a truly filling and festive meal. For plating, create a vibrant presentation with the wraps arranged on a platter garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

How to Store This sheet pan salmon wraps Recipe

If you have leftovers, here's how to store them properly:

• Refrigeration: Store the cooked salmon and vegetable mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store the tortillas separately to prevent them from becoming soggy.
• Freezing: While you can freeze the cooked salmon and vegetable mixture, the texture may change slightly upon thawing. If you choose to freeze it, store it in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw completely in the refrigerator before reheating.
• Reheating: Reheat the salmon and vegetable mixture in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through. Warm the tortillas before assembling the wraps.

Tips to Make This sheet pan salmon wraps Recipe

Here are a few tips to ensure your sheet pan salmon wraps are a success every time:

• Ingredient Swaps: Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on your preferences or what you have on hand. Zucchini, asparagus, or cherry tomatoes would all be delicious additions.
• Success Tips: Don't overcrowd the sheet pan. If necessary, use two sheet pans to ensure even cooking.
• Common Mistakes to Avoid: Overcooking the salmon can result in a dry, less flavorful filling. Keep a close eye on the salmon and remove it from the oven as soon as it flakes easily.
• Pro Tips for Best Results: Marinating the salmon for 30 minutes prior to baking can enhance the flavor.

Helpful Notes for This sheet pan salmon wraps Recipe

A few extra clarifications to help you:

The salmon should be cut into roughly equal sized pieces to that it cooks evenly on the sheet pan during the recipe process. I really recommend parchment paper as it makes cleanup a breeze. When prepping the vegetables, uniformly sliced vegetables cook evenly on the sheet pan.

Experimenting with different spices and herbs is highly encouraged to customize the flavor to your liking. Cayenne pepper could be added to the mix.

Variation of This sheet pan salmon wraps Recipe

Want to mix things up? Here are some variations you can try:

• Seasonal Twists: In the fall, add roasted butternut squash or Brussels sprouts to the vegetable mix. In the spring, asparagus or snap peas would be great additions.
• Optional Versions: Try using different types of fish, such as cod or tuna, instead of salmon. You could also add black beans or corn to the filling for a Tex Mex flair, much like Sheet Pan Turkey Tacos.
• Creative Modifications: Add a drizzle of sriracha mayo or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and texture. Sliced jicama is also an awesome addition.
