Gut Friendly Salmon Lettuce Wraps with Ginger-Coconut Sauce
These fresh, vibrant wraps are the kind of meal that feels light and nourishing without ever feeling like a compromise. Crisp butter lettuce cups cradle golden, turmeric-kissed salmon alongside cool cucumber, shredded carrots, and bright cilantro — every bite is a satisfying mix of textures and flavors. The ginger-coconut sauce ties it all together with a tangy, slightly sweet drizzle made from coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, fresh ginger, honey, and lime juice — no inflammatory ingredients, no mystery additives. Cooking the salmon in coconut oil with turmeric and ginger means you're leaning on ingredients that are genuinely kind to your digestive system. The whole thing comes together in one skillet, making cleanup as easy as the prep. Serve straight from the platter with a squeeze of fresh lime and you've got a weeknight dinner that looks impressive but asks very little of you.
