About This Recipe

These Keto Smoked Salmon & Herb Créme Lettuce Wraps are the perfect blend of freshness, creaminess, and savory flavor—all wrapped up in a crisp, low-carb package. Smoked salmon brings a buttery, delicate saltiness that pairs beautifully with the cool crunch of lettuce, making every bite refreshing but still satisfying. Instead of using tortillas or bread, this recipe relies on lettuce leaves to keep carbs extremely low while still creating a wrap that’s easy to hold and surprisingly filling.

The star of this dish is the herb créme—a smooth, creamy mixture made with cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, fresh dill, chives, and a touch of garlic. This dressing adds richness and depth while also balancing the smoky flavor of the salmon with bright, fresh herbs. When spread inside crisp lettuce leaves, it creates the perfect base for layering salmon slices, cucumber, and a little fresh lemon.

These wraps take only a few minutes to assemble, making them ideal for quick lunches, light dinners, or even meal prep if you store the components separately. They’re naturally gluten-free, keto-friendly, and high in healthy fats thanks to the salmon and creamy dressing. The flavors feel clean and light, yet the dish is rich enough to keep you satisfied for hours.

Perfect for warm-weather meals, office lunches, or holiday platters, these lettuce wraps deliver an elegant presentation with minimal effort. Whether you’re craving something fresh after heavy holiday dishes or want a keto meal that feels elevated without extra work, these smoked salmon wraps check all the boxes.
