Glazed Salmon Lettuce Wraps: Today’s Special You Can’t Miss on Anna Maria Island

A Light, Flavorful Star from The Waterfront Restaurant’s Scratch Kitchen

Glazed Salmon Lettuce Wraps The Waterfront Every once in a while, a lunch special turns heads, fills seats, and becomes an instant fan favorite. Today is one of those days at The Waterfront Restaurant on Anna Maria Island. We’re featuring our Glazed Salmon Lettuce Wraps, a refreshingly light yet deeply flavorful dish that showcases everything our scratch kitchen stands for: integrity, creativity, and wholesome deliciousness.

For those seeking a meal that satisfies without weighing you down—especially under the warm Gulf Coast sun—this special is your dream on a plate. Our salmon is glazed to perfection and cradled in crisp lettuce leaves that serve as both a textural contrast and a healthy, low-carb substitute for traditional wraps.

What Makes a Scratch Kitchen So Special?

At The Waterfront Restaurant, we’re proud to say that everything is made from scratch in-house—except the fries (and yes, even those are amazing). Why does that matter?

In a world filled with frozen shortcuts, we’re going the opposite direction. Every dressing, every glaze, every rub, and every reduction comes from ingredients we’ve handpicked and prepared right here in our kitchen. The result? Freshness you can taste, nutrition you can trust, and a dining experience that reflects the skill and passion of our culinary team.

Scratch Kitchens Are a Growing Trend

According to a recent Nation’s Restaurant News article, diners—especially Millennials and Gen Z—are seeking out restaurants that prioritize transparency, local ingredients, and food prepared from scratch. The Waterfront is proud to be at the forefront of this movement on Anna Maria Island.

People want to know what they’re eating. They’re choosing real food over processed convenience. And when it comes to health-conscious beachgoers and snowbirds alike, our scratch kitchen has become a beloved part of their AMI experience.

The Perfect Pairings: What to Sip with Your Glazed Salmon Lettuce Wraps

Whether you’re catching the sea breeze on our covered patio or enjoying the AC in our cozy dining room, no lunch is complete without the perfect beverage. Here’s what we recommend pairing with today’s featured special:

White Wines That Elevate the Experience

Albariño or Grüner Veltliner: These zippy whites bring citrusy brightness and subtle minerality that pairs beautifully with glazed salmon.
Sauvignon Blanc: Its herbal notes and sharp acidity cut through the sweetness of the glaze and highlight the freshness of the lettuce wrap.

Creative Cocktails for a Refreshing Boost

If you’re in the mood for something with a twist, our bar team is shaking and stirring fresh island-inspired cocktails daily. Try pairing this special with our House Cucumber Cooler or a craft-made Key Lime Mojito for a crisp, citrusy counterpoint to the salmon’s richness.

Zero-Proof? No Problem!

We’ve also got a great lineup of non-alcoholic mocktails and beverages like cold-pressed juices and fizzy house-made lemonades. Just ask your server what’s fresh and seasonal.

Why Diners Are Loving Lettuce Wraps (and Why You Will Too)

Lettuce wraps offer that beautiful middle ground between indulgent flavor and healthy satisfaction. You get the crunch of fresh greens, the protein punch of high-quality salmon, and the sweet-savory depth of our house-made glaze—all without the carb crash that often comes from heavy lunch fare.

It’s no surprise that health experts have highlighted lettuce wraps as a low-carb, high-flavor alternative to traditional bread-based meals. Our version takes this to the next level by pairing it with scratch-made flavor you simply can’t get from a bottle or bag.
