Ingredients
  

For the filling

  • 1 cup cooked salmon (flaked) Provides a juicy, tender base.
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened) Adds a rich, creamy texture.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil (chopped) Infuses a fragrant herbal note.
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest Brightens the dish with citrusy goodness.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Adds acidity and brightness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Enhances flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flaked salmon, cream cheese, basil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Spread a thin layer of the salmon mixture onto a wrap, leaving about an inch clear on the edges.
  • Roll it up tightly to maintain the structure.
  • Cut the roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately or chill briefly for easier slicing.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, consider adding capers or finely diced red onions. You can swap cream cheese for Greek yogurt for a lighter twist. Best served with fresh salad or a vegetable platter.
