How to Make This Sheet Pan Salmon Wraps Recipe
- 1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. This makes cleanup a breeze!
- 2. Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillet on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- 3. Bake: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- 4. Make the Lime Crema: While the salmon is baking, whisk together sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt in a small bowl.
- 5. Flake the Salmon: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Use a fork to flake the salmon into bite sized pieces. Watch out for bones!
- 6. Warm the Tortillas: While the salmon is baking, warm the tortillas separately on a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for just a few seconds per side. This makes them pliable and prevents tearing.
- 7. Assemble the Wraps: Spread a spoonful of lime crema on each tortilla. Add flaked salmon, avocado slices, shredded red cabbage, and chopped cilantro.
- 8. Serve: Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing. Enjoy!
How to Serve This Sheet Pan Salmon Wraps Recipe
These sheet pan salmon wraps are a complete meal on their own! You can serve them with a simple side salad or some tortilla chips and salsa for a more substantial meal.
They’re also perfect for picnics or potlucks. Consider a side of Mexican street corn salad or a black bean and corn salsa for added flavor and texture. I love adding a sprinkle of cotija cheese to the wraps at the end. These wraps are great with a dollop of guacamole too.
How to Store This Sheet Pan Salmon Wraps Recipe
Store any leftover salmon separately from the tortillas and fillings. This will prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
- Refrigeration: Store cooked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store the lime crema separately for up to 3 days as well.
- Freezing: I don’t recommend freezing the assembled wraps, as the textures of the fillings will change upon thawing. However, you can freeze the cooked salmon in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
- Reheating: Reheat the salmon in the microwave or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Don’t overheat, or it will dry out.
Tips to Make This Sheet Pan Salmon Wraps Recipe
- Ingredient Swaps: Don’t have red cabbage? Shredded carrots or lettuce work just as well. Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream.
- Success Tip: Don’t overbake the salmon! It will become dry and less flavorful.
- Common Mistake to Avoid: Avoid overloading the wraps. Too much filling will make them difficult to roll and eat.
- Pro Tip: For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in a mixture of lime juice, soy sauce, and ginger for 30 minutes before baking.
Helpful Notes for This Sheet Pan Salmon Wraps Recipe
Make sure to use fresh, high quality salmon for the best flavor. I prefer wild caught salmon, but farmed salmon works too. If you are using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before baking.
Smoked paprika adds a wonderful depth of flavor, but you can substitute regular paprika if needed. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the salmon seasoning. And for an extra kick, try adding some jalapeños to the wraps instead of the red cabbage.
Variation of This Sheet Pan Salmon Wraps Recipe
- Spicy Sheet Pan Salmon Wraps: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the salmon seasoning and use a spicy sriracha mayo instead of the lime crema.
- Mediterranean Sheet Pan Salmon Wraps: Use a lemon herb dressing instead of the lime crema and add crumbled feta cheese, olives, and cucumbers to the wraps. Similar to the tasty Sheet Pan Chicken Wraps!
- Asian Inspired Sheet Pan Salmon Wraps: Use a teriyaki glaze on the salmon and add shredded carrots, bean sprouts, and a drizzle of sesame oil to the wraps.
