Instructions
 

Salmon

  • To a large ziplock bag, add the yogurt, sriracha, lemon juice, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Rinse and dry each salmon filet.
  • Add the salmon filets to the marinade bag and gently coat each filet in the yogurt marinade.
  • Close the bag and marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  • After the fish has marinated, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add 1 ½ Tablespoons olive oil to the skillet and swirl around the pan. Turn the heat down to medium, and add the salmon filets.
  • Immediately cover with a splatter screen, and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.

Tzatziki

  • In a medium bowl, add the yogurt, garlic, olive oil, salt, and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, but 24 hours is best.
  • Just before serving, stir in the dill and cucumber.

Tomato and Cucumber Salad

  • In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients.

Assembly

  • Heat a pita until warm.
  • To each pita, add tzatziki, tomato and cucumber salad, one salmon filet, and a sprinkle of fresh feta crumbles.
  • Roll into a wrap and serve immediately.

Notes

A splatter screen is necessary for this recipe – otherwise the yogurt marinade will splatter a lot. To avoid hot splatter, be sure to use a splatter screen.
Don’t add the dill and cucumber to the tzatziki until just before serving. If you add it too early they will overpower the flavor of the dip.
