FAQ

  • Can I use different types of fish?

    Yes, you can substitute smoked salmon with other types of smoked fish like trout or mackerel. Alternatively, you can use grilled or baked salmon.
  • How can I store leftover ingredients?

    Store the lettuce leaves, avocado, and smoked salmon separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Avocado can be prevented from browning by keeping the pit inside the container. Prepare the wraps just before serving to prevent the lettuce from becoming soggy.
