Good, Solid Recipe

Be sure to use thick, tasty Greek-style yogurt for this sauce. Its flavor and texture are essential.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 wrap)

Ingredients

  • 1  tablespoon  fresh lemon juice
  • 1  teaspoon  dried oregano
  • 2  teaspoons  extravirgin olive oil
  • 5/8  teaspoon  salt, divided
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 4  (6-ounce) halibut fillets
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/3  cup  Greek-style yogurt
  • 1/4  cup  finely chopped cucumber
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4  teaspoon  minced fresh garlic
  • 4  pita wraps
  • 2  cups  chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1/2  cup  thinly sliced red onion
  • 8  plum tomato slices

Preparation

1. Preheat broiler.

2. Combine first 3 ingredients in a shallow dish; stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add halibut, turning to coat; let stand 15 minutes. Arrange halibut on the rack of a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; place rack in pan. Broil 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.

3. Combine remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, yogurt, cucumber, dill, and garlic in a bowl, stirring well. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons yogurt mixture in the center of each pita wrap; top each with 1 fillet, 1/2 cup lettuce, 2 tablespoons onion, and 2 tomato slices. Roll up.

This was easy and flavorful. I needed to add salt to the dressing. Nice to have different flavor options with fish. I might try shaving rather than chopping the cucumber it seems to have more juicy flavor.05/11/09
