Mahi Mahi Wraps


There's no better way to cap your day than with a low-carb, high-protein fish burrito loaded with heart-healthy omega-3s.

4 mahi mahi fillets (6 oz each)

1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

Lemon-pepper seasoning

1 cup plain yogurt

Juice of 2 limes

Ground black pepper

8 large leaves Boston lettuce

2 tomatoes, chopped

1 cucumber, seeded and grated

1 avocado, peeled and chopped

1 cup bean sprouts

1 cup shredded carrots

How to Make It

1. Heat a very clean, oiled grill or grill pan on medium. Brush the fish with the oil and sprinkle it with the lemon-pepper seasoning to taste. Grill the fish, undisturbed, for 5 minutes. Carefully flip with a spatula and cook for another 5 minutes, until the fish flakes easily.

2. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt and lime juice and season to taste with pepper. Fill each lettuce leaf with about 2 Tbsp each of the tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, sprouts, and carrots. Top each with several chunks of mahi mahi. Drizzle each with an equal amount of the yogurt sauce. Fold each lettuce leaf into a wrap. Makes 4 servings
