Asian Lettuce Wraps

This dish has qualities of both a fish sandwich and fish taco, but none of the extra carb calories that both of those have. By using a lettuce wrap, you’ll never miss the 100-200 calories eliminated. And we’ve increased the flavor profile by adding preserved lemons and sumac for that citrus burst this gorgeous piece of fish is begging for.
