Chipotle Wild Alaskan Salmon Wrap

This easy salmon wrap recipe is the perfect light meal to enjoy throughout the year. It uses canned salmon for a convenient protein option that packs in some surprisingly healthy benefits. It’s also seasoned with chipotle peppers, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic for a very flavorful lunch or dinner.

There are a good handful of canned wild Alaskan salmon brands on the market, but my favorite by far is Pure Alaska Salmon. They offer both pink salmon (light color, mild flavor) and red sockeye salmon (richer, more intense flavor and color), and deliver seriously amazing fish. The boneless varieties are the “prettiest”, but the very soft, edible bones do contain a very good dose of dairy-free calcium and magnesium.

Special Diet Notes: Alaskan Salmon Wrap

By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, optionally gluten-free, nut-free, peanut-free, and optionally soy-free.

To keep this salmon wrap recipe allergy-friendly, look for a cream cheese alternative that suits you dietary needs. Many are soy-based, but Daiya offers a soy-free option. If you prefer a from-scratch salmon wrap, use my cashew cream cheese alternative recipe in Go Dairy Free. In a pinch, you can alternatively substitute your favorite vegan or traditional mayonnaise or guacamole.
