Easy Salmon Buffalo Lettuce Cups

This is my entry for the Alaska Gold's Easy Salmon Recipe Contest!

I took our love of salmon and buffalo wings to make a super delicious lettuce wrap that my whole family loved. This recipe took me a total of 20 minutes to make, and the kids loved putting together the lettuce cups themselves. The Buffalo Salmon is smoky and a little spicy which pairs perfectly with the cool and creamy blue cheese celery and carrot salad!

Easy Salmon Buffalo Lettuce Cups

½ cup shredded carrots

½ cup thinly sliced celery

¼ cup thinly sliced green onions

2 Tablespoons good quality blue cheese salad dressing

1 package Alaska Gold Easy Salmon

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

3 Tablespoons unsalted butter

3 Tablespoons hot sauce

8 butter lettuce leaves

In a small bowl stir together the carrot, celery, green onion and blue cheese dressing until evenly combined. Set in the fridge to chill.

In a small mixing bowl stir together the salmon, salt, garlic powder and paprika.

In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the salmon to the melted butter and sauté for 3-5 minutes. Stir in the hot sauce and turn the heat off.

Spoon an equal amount of chilled carrot and celery salad into each lettuce cup. Top with salmon and serve immediately.
