How to Serve This sheet pan salmon wraps Recipe
These sheet pan salmon wraps are fantastic on their own, but they’re even better with a few simple sides. Serve with a side salad for a light and refreshing meal, or offer a bowl of creamy coleslaw for some crunch. Consider adding a squeeze of lime juice over the wraps just before serving to brighten up the flavors. A side of Spanish rice would be a perfect pairing as well.
For plating, arrange the wraps on a platter or individual plates, garnished with extra cilantro and lime wedges. Offer a variety of toppings in small bowls so everyone can customize their own wraps.
How to Store This sheet pan salmon wraps Recipe
Leftover baked salmon and vegetables can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store the tortillas separately to prevent them from becoming soggy.
To reheat, warm the salmon and vegetables in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave. If using a microwave, be careful not to overcook the salmon. For the tortillas, you can either reheat them in a dry skillet or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for a few seconds.
I don’t recommend freezing these salmon wraps after they have been fully assembled, but the baked salmon and vegetables can be frozen separately for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating and assembling.
Tips to Make This sheet pan salmon wraps Recipe
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Ensure everything is spread out evenly for proper cooking. If needed, use two sheet pans.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha for extra heat.
- Marinate the salmon: For even more flavor, marinate the salmon in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Customize your veggies: Feel free to use any vegetables you like, such as broccoli, asparagus, or bell peppers.
Helpful Notes for This sheet pan salmon wraps Recipe
When choosing your salmon, opt for a high quality, sustainably sourced fillet for the best flavor and texture. You can use either skin on or skin off, depending on your preference. If using skin on, place the salmon skin side down on the sheet pan.
For the tortillas, I like to use large burrito size tortillas, as they hold more filling and are easier to wrap. You can also use smaller taco size tortillas, but you may need to adjust the amount of filling accordingly. Whole wheat or gluten free tortillas are great options.

Try using different sauces or spreads, such as pesto, hummus, or a creamy dill sauce, to change up the flavors.
For a vegetarian version, replace the salmon with tofu or tempeh. Marinate the tofu or tempeh in the same spice mixture as the salmon, and bake until golden brown.
For a low carb option, use large lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.
