INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:
SALMON:

HONEY:
- Use honey to add natural sweetness and help caramelize the salmon. You can substitute it with maple syrup, agave nectar, or date syrup.
GREEK YOGURT:
- We utilize Greek yogurt to make a creamy, protein-rich Cajun sauce. You can swap it with dairy-free yogurt, skyr, or labneh.
WHOLE-GRAIN TORTILLAS:
- Use whole-grain tortillas to add fiber and hold the wrap together. As a substitute, use gluten-free wraps, spinach tortillas, or lettuce wraps.
RED CABBAGE:
- We add red cabbage for crunch and antioxidant benefits. You can replace it with green cabbage or shredded Brussels sprouts.
AVOCADO:
- Use avocado to provide healthy fats and a creamy texture. You can substitute it with hummus or guacamole.
CAJUN SEASONING:
We use Cajun seasoning to give the sauce a smoky and mildly spicy flavor. You can replace it with blackened seasoning or paprika mixed with cayenne pepper.
LEMON JUICE:
Use lemon juice to brighten the flavor of the sauce. As a substitute, use lime juice or apple cider vinegar.
