Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 150 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 unit cucumber
- 1 unit tomato
- 0.5 unit red onion
- 4 pieces whole wheat pita bread
- 2 cups mixed greens
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork. Set aside to cool slightly.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the dill yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, minced garlic clove, and fresh dill. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Dice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside for topping.
Once the salmon has cooled slightly, use a fork to flake it into bite-sized pieces.
Warm the pita bread either in the oven for a minute or in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds on each side.
Cut the pita breads in half to create pockets. Gently open each pocket and layer with a handful of mixed greens, flaked salmon, diced vegetables, and a dollop of the dill yogurt sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Dill Salmon Pita Pockets!
