Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillet

1 ripe peach, diced

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 head of butter lettuce or romaine, leaves separated

1 small cucumber, julienned

1 carrot, julienned

Fresh cilantro or mint, for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine diced peach, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peaches break down, and the glaze thickens (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

    Cook the Salmon: Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip the salmon over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Drizzle half of the peach glaze over the cooked salmon, letting it sit for a minute to absorb the flavors.

      Assemble the Lettuce Wraps: On a large platter, lay out the lettuce leaves. Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and distribute evenly among the leaves. Top each salmon portion with julienned cucumber, carrot, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or mint.

        Finish with Glaze: Drizzle the remaining peach glaze over the assembled wraps for added flavor.

          Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious salmon lettuce wraps as a fresh and vibrant meal or appetizer!
