  • Steam the lettuce over the steaming liquid for 30 seconds.
  • Remove the liquid from the heat.
  • Cut the center stem out of each leaf and overlap the flaps where the stem was.
  • Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
  • Place 1 piece of salmon on the center of each leaf and top with some mushrooms.
  • Fold the sides of the leaf in over the salmon and mushrooms.
  • Then fold the bottom over the salmon, rolling it up to make a tight package.
