Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 0.25 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach or arugula
- 4 ciabatta rolls or sandwich buns, halved
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and rub them with olive oil, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the seasoned fish to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh dill. Stir well to combine, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
If toasting the ciabatta rolls or buns, spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides and toast them in a pan or under a broiler until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous layer of the yogurt sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Layer the cooked fish fillet, cucumber slices, tomato slices, red onion, and baby spinach or arugula on top of the sauce.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Optionally, secure with a toothpick for easier handling.
