Low-Carb Salmon BLAT Lettuce Wrap

With crunchy bacon, creamy avocado and tasty salmon, the Salmon BLAT Lettuce Wrap turns a classic sandwich into a low-carb dream meal. 

This recipe had its origins in my very favorite BLT. Not your classic bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich, but a BLT all spiffed up with added salmon and avocado. 

I’d been eating the sandwich at a local restaurant for ages. With a balcony overlooking the river and craft beer too, it’s a favorite stop.

But then I decided to go keto. Yup, keto throws a monkey wrench into any sandwich. Add in restaurant closures from Covid-19, and it’s all over. 

So when my Sunday blogging group decided to feature BLT’s, I wondered how I’d manage.

I decided the answer was turning it into a lettuce wrap. Yum! 

Ingredients

Now I admit that the idea of doing a lettuce wrap was a little intimidating. I remember some pretty awkward lettuce wraps in my past. But when I look online, most of the lettuce warps were simply folded over like a taco. No fancy burrito wrap at all. I can do that, I thought.

When I finished, well, it wasn’t super cute, but it was absolutely delicious. In fact even when I stop keto, I think this is going to be my go-to version.

Bring on swim-suit season!

Ingredients

• 12 ounce salmon filet
• 1 Tablespoon oil
• 4 large lettuce leaves (I used Romaine)
• 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 4 slices cooked bacon
• 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

Heat oil in frying pan on medium heat.  Salt and pepper salmon, then sauté until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.  If the salmon has skin, discard it.

Lay out the first lettuce leaf and drizzle the front half with ½ Tablespoon mayonnaise.  Top the mayonnaise with 1-2 tomato slices, 1 slice of bacon broken in half, a few avocado slicesband ¼ of the cooked salmon (about 3 ounces). 

Fold the back half of the lettuce forward to make a “top” for your wrap.  Secure with a toothpick if needed.

Repeat with the other 3 lettuce leaves and remaining ingredients. 

Serves 2.
