Ingredients

Burgers and fixings

  • 3 ounces dried rice stick noodles (see notes)
  • 1 heaping cup shredded carrots (use pre-shredded for ease, if desired)
  • 1 1/2 medium ripe avocados, sliced
  • 8 crunchy Romaine or large butter lettuce leaves
  • 2 thinly sliced scallions
  • 4 four-ounce frozen salmon burgers, not defrosted
  • Olive or other oil for cooking the salmon

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon plain yogurt or Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (more if you like it really spicy)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Cucumber Salad

  • 2 cups thinly sliced Persian or English cucumber (about 3 Persian or 1/2 English cucumber)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 big pinch salt
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook rice stick noodles according to package directions and drain well. Put the rice noodles, carrots, avocado, lettuce, and scallions in small in bowls or plates.

  2. Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high. Lightly coat with olive oil. Lay the frozen salmon burgers in the pan and cook until nicely browned on both sides with the center cooked through, about 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate.

  3. While the burgers cook, make the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, yogurt, sriracha, and lime in a small bowl. Whisk in 1 to 3 teaspoons water so the dressing is thin enough to spoon over the burgers.

  4. Arrange the burgers and fixings on the dining table so each diner can make their own wraps. To assemble each lettuce wrap, pile a little of the rice noodle in a lettuce leave, add half of a salmon burger, a big spoon of carrots, a pinch of scallions, a slice or two of avocado, and a spoonful of dressing. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Rice stick noodles are very thin rice noodles sold in supermarkets and specialty Asian markets. If you can't find them, substitute 1 1/2 cups cooked sticky rice or other variety of rice.
