Gyro Style Seared Fish Tzatziki Wraps

Gyro Style Seared Fish Tzatziki Wraps

Gyro Style Seared Fish Tzatziki Wraps

Servings

4

Ingredients

For the Pita Bread
For the Fish
For the Lemon Basil Vinaigrette
For the Tzatziki
For the Tomato Cucumber Salad

Instructions

To prepare the fish:

Add all the fish spices to a small bowl and mix until evenly incorporated. Spread evenly on both sides of the fish. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.  

Prepare the ingredients for the tzatziki. Grate or finely dice enough cucumber to yield ½ cup. Using a towel, press any moisture out of the grated cucumber (doesn’t have to be perfect). Add all the ingredients into a bowl and mix with a spoon. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt/pepper accordingly. 

For the dressing

Add all of the dressing ingredients into a bowl. Whisk to combine and taste for seasoning. 

Meanwhile, dice the tomatoes and cucumber and add to a large salad bowl along with the quartered artichoke hearts. Option to add pitted olives and feta. Dress the salad with enough dressing to evenly coat. 

To cook the fish, heat 2 tbsps of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the fish. Cook for 3-6 minutes a side, depending on the thickness (the underside will look golden brown and crisp when ready to flip). Carefully flip the fish (it will be very delicate so it’s okay if it flakes and falls apart a little). You will know the fish is done when it is opaque all the way through. Squeeze a slice of fresh lemon over the hot fish.

To serve:

Warm the pita in a skillet brushed with olive oil for 30 seconds-1 minute. On the warm pita, layer the base with a spoonful of the tzatziki, followed by a spoonful of the tomato salad. Carefully place a piece of hot fish on top. Garnish with more vinaigrette, tzatziki, or lemon and enjoy!

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Cut the cauliflower steaks into 3/4-1 inch think “steaks” and place on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Season each side liberally with olive oil and spices. Place on the bottom rack and bake for 20-25 minutes unti lthe under side is golden brown. Flip the steaks carefully and bake for another 10-15 minutes until tender.

Meanwhile, combine all the fish crust topping ingredients into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add enough olive oil so that the mixture becomes a coarse crumb and sticks together when you press it with your fingers.  

Line the fish (or protein of choice) on a sheet tray lined with foil. Brush the salmon with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Press the pecan herb mix evenly onto the top of the fish. Bake until light pink all the way through (about 12-15 minutes depending on the thickness). 

While the fish is baking, make the sauce by combining all the ingredients into the food processor. If the mixture is too thick, add water 1 tbsp at a time until it is a smooth and pourable sauce. Taste for seasoning.

To serve:

Plate a cauliflower steak tops with a piece of fish and a few drizzles of the sauce-enjoy!
