Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed

2 cups fresh blueberries

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 head of butter or romaine lettuce, leaves separated

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

½ cup avocado, diced (optional)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Blueberry Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for approximately 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally, allowing the blueberries to burst and the sauce to thicken. Once achieved, remove from heat and allow the glaze to cool slightly.

    Cook the Salmon: While the glaze cools, preheat your grill or a stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Drizzle olive oil over the salmon fillet and generously season it with salt and black pepper. Once the grill is hot, place the salmon on it and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. After cooking, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for several minutes to retain moisture.

      Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: During the salmon cooking process, rinse the lettuce leaves thoroughly under cold water. Gently dry them with paper towels and arrange them on a platter, ready to be filled with the salmon.

        Assemble the Wraps: Once the salmon has rested, flake it into bite-sized pieces using a fork. Distribute the salmon evenly among the prepared lettuce leaves. Generously drizzle the blueberry glaze over the salmon in each wrap, ensuring each bite is well coated.

          Add Optional Toppings: To elevate the flavors, consider adding diced avocado into each lettuce wrap. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro for added freshness and color.

            Serve: Just before serving, squeeze fresh lime juice over each wrap to brighten the flavors and give a tangy finish. Enjoy these delightful Salmon Lettuce Wraps while they’re fresh, bursting with flavor!
