Cajun Rockfish Lettuce Wraps with Cheater Rouille Sauce
Looking for a vibrant, healthy, and fun way to eat fish? Try these easy-peasy lettuce wraps!
I went with a simple Cajun profile by tossing the fish in Cajun spice and saucing the wraps with a Louisiana-style rouille sauce. To save time and effort, I simplified the sauce to work with pantry ingredients and no fuss.
These wraps will be a hit, whether you enjoy them for an easy weeknight dinner, or as an outdoor shore lunch!

Ingredients
For the Fish
- 4 small or 2 medium-large skinless fillets of Pacific rockfish
- +/- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 tsp Olive oil
- Kosher salt (***only if there is none in the Cajun seasoning)
- 1 head green or bib lettuce
- 1 carrot, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin matchsticks
- 1 cucumber, cut into thin matchsticks
For the Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 loose cup fresh basil leaves, minced
- 1-2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced finely
- 4 strips jarred roasted red pepper, finely minced
- 1 tbsp milk or cream
- Louisiana-style hot sauce to taste (I used about 2 tsp)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Cut the fish into large-ish bite-sized chunks.
Add oil, Cajun spice, salt (if using) and fish to a bowl and toss well.
Add the fish to a skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until a fork easily flakes a chunk of the fish. Remove from heat.
For the Sauce:
Mix ingredients together for a slightly chunky sauce, blend on high for a smooth sauce.
Peel off large leaves of lettuce and fill them with the veggies, fish, and a generous amount of sauce. Enjoy!
