Ingredients
4 Salmon fillets
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 Lemon, juiced and zested
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
1/2 Cucumber, grated
1/2 Cucumber, diced
1/4 Red onion, finely chopped
4 pieces Warm pita or flatbread
Instructions
1. Marinate salmon in olive oil, lemon juice/zest, garlic, salt, and pepper for 30 mins.
2. Mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, garlic, lemon, and salt for the sauce. Chill.
3. Grill salmon on medium-high heat, 3–4 mins per side, until flaky. Let rest.
4. Warm pita, prep sliced onion, diced cucumber, and extra herbs.
5. Assemble: pita + veggies + salmon chunks + spoonfuls of dill yogurt sauce.
Notes
Don’t skip the marinade—it adds depth and prevents dry fish.
Let the salmon rest after grilling so it stays juicy when you slice it.
For extra softness, grill your pita for 30 seconds right before assembling.
