Ingredients and Substitutions
A full ingredients list, along with US Customary and Metric measurements, can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Smoked salmon - Rich, savoury and full of omega-3 fatty acids. You could swap it for a cooked salmon fillet if you prefer - see our Salmon Wrap recipe. You could also use hot smoked salmon.
- Wraps - Soft, high in fibre, and holds everything together. You could try making your own Homemade Flatbreads for this.
- Cream cheese - Classic pairing with salmon; use full-fat, light, or whipped. You could swap it for a soft goat cheese if you prefer.
- Salad items - We used crisp romaine lettuce to bulk it out and then added some cucumber, tomato, red onion, capers and fresh chives.
Variations
Avocado: Add slices for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
Herb Cream Cheese: Use garlic & herb or dill-flavoured cream cheese for extra flavour.
Spinach or Rocket (Arugula): Swap or add to the lettuce for a peppery twist.
Wrap Swap: Use spinach wraps, low-carb wraps, or even nori sheets for a sushi-inspired version.
Add Eggs: Sliced boiled egg works great for a brunch-style wrap, or even our Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs.
Vegan Version: Use carrot lox or marinated smoked tofu, and dairy-free cream cheese.
How To Make a Smoked Salmon Wrap
Step 1
Spread the cream cheese over the wraps and then top with the remaining ingredients.
Step 2
Fold in the sides of the wrap, then roll tightly from the filled end to the opposite side. Slice in half on the diagonal for easy eating.
Serving Suggestions
On its own: As a light lunch or dinner.
With a side salad: Try a lemony quinoa salad or mixed greens.
As part of a brunch spread: Cut into thirds and serve on a platter with fruit and baked goods.
For kids: Roll it up tightly and slice into pinwheels for lunchboxes.

- Pat veggies with paper towel to avoid a soggy wrap.
- Fold your wrap up tightly. It prevents ingredients from falling out and makes it easier to eat.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to everything before folding it up.
