  • Total Time: 12 minute

Ingredients

– 2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
– 4 whole wheat pita pockets
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon dried dill
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– ½ cucumber, sliced
– ½ cup Greek yogurt
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional for garnish)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Herbed Salmon Pita Pockets:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Season the salmon: Drizzle olive oil over the fillets. Sprinkle dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly on top.
4. Bake the salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Make the sauce: While the salmon is baking, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
6. Warm the pita: If desired, warm the pita pockets in a dry pan over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
7. Assemble the pockets: Once the salmon is done, flake it into large pieces. Stuff each pita pocket with pieces of salmon, spinach leaves, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices.
8. Add sauce: Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the filling in each pita pocket.
9. Garnish: If using, sprinkle additional fresh dill on top for added flavor and presentation.
10. Serve immediately: Enjoy your Herbed Salmon Pita Pockets warm or at room temperature!
