We eat salmon on a regular basis in our house. Most of the time, I season it with an herb mix or make a quick teriyaki marinade, roast it in the oven along side some veggies as a side and call it a day. However, it is good to change things up on occasion.
These salmon wraps with guacamole and bacon are a tasty change from the usual fare and require only a little bit more effort.
Tips for making salmon guacamole bacon wraps
- To cut down on prep work, I often buy prepared guacamole from my grocery store. I only recommend that option if your store makes it fresh on-site with real avocados, onions, cilantro, lime juice etc. It is as good as homemade and a great time saver. More and more grocery stores are offering it nowadays. Otherwise, I would recommend making your own. Either way, make sure you taste it and add salt and lime juice to your liking.
- For the bacon, you can put the bacon slices on a foiled lined rimmed baking sheet and roast them in the oven along side the salmon. It will save you from having to wash a skillet later.
- Salmon wraps are best served in warm tortillas. I usually opt for the microwave for this. Place the tortillas on a plate then cover them with a barely damp paper towel. Heat them in the microwave for 60-90 seconds (depending on the power of your oven), flipping the tortillas about halfway through.

Description
These salmon wraps are an easy weeknight meal with salmon, guacamole, bacon, and spinach all wrapped up in a warm tortilla.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons white or red onion, minced
- 1 tablespoon jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1 – 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste
- 4 slices thick cut bacon, cooked and drained
- Baby spinach leaves, optional
- 4 fajita size flour tortillas
Instructions
- Cook salmon. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season salmon fillet with salt and pepper and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Roast salmon in oven for 15-20 minutes or until salmon is cooked through. Let cool slightly.
- Prep guacamole. Meanwhile, prepare the guacamole. In a medium bowl, stir together onion, jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise around the pit. Twist the avocado halves in opposite directions and pull the halves apart. Scoop out the avocado pulp with a spoon and add to the onion mixture. Add lime juice and salt. With a spoon or fork, roughly mash the avocado while mixing in the onion mixture until evenly combined. Taste and season with additional lime juice or salt as needed. Set aside.
- Make wraps. To assemble the wraps, warm tortillas in microwave for 60-90 seconds so they are soft enough to roll. Spread guacamole down the center of each tortilla. Then top with large chunks of the cooked salmon, one slice of bacon (you may need to tear it in half), and some spinach leaves (if using). Roll up each tortilla and serve.
Notes
- To cut down on prep time, you can buy prepared guacamole from your grocery store. Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s offer fresh guacamole in their produce section. If you can’t find fresh guacamole, you can also buy fresh pico de gallo and mix it with the avocado, lime juice, and salt to make guacamole.

We love the salmon sandwiches from Barefoot Contessa so I am excited to try this variation. What did you serve as a side??
Taming of the Spoon says
I do pretty simple sides for weeknight dinners. So, it’s usually a green salad with balsamic vinaigrette or some steamed vegetables.
Hope you like these wraps!
Sandra says
Thank you for the recipe. I am always looking for ways to incorporate more fish into my family’s diet and this turned out to be a very healthy and light dish with the bacon adding just enough punch for my boyfriend to like it too. I had never thought of eating salmon this way before. Thank you again, this tasted great!

What a fantastic and easy dinner idea! My husband doesn’t eat pork so I modified the recipe a bit. I omitted the bacon and added red onions and jalapeños!! I also smoked my salmon so they also added a punch. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love salmon too and this is a great way to serve it! The crispy bacon goes perfect with the guac!
Taming of the Spoon says
Bacon and guac is one my favorite combinations too. Love it.
Brian @ A Thought For Food says
I’ll eat salmon in pretty much any form… but this wrap looks like maybe the best combination.
Taming of the Spoon says
You can never go wrong with salmon or bacon or guacamole. Putting them together is even better.
