We love using broiled wild-caught Alaska salmon and flaking it to perfection, enveloped in pita bread with homemade Cucumber Feta Greek yogurt dip. With the sockeye salmon’s delicate texture, this gyro will knock your socks off, and you’ll be wanting it every single day of the week.
We can start by taking small steps every day to bring ourselves closer to heart health, beginning with our diet. Take salmon for example. Salmon is packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D and is a great source of protein. It’s also incredibly easy to prepare, whether it’s on the grill, stovetop or oven, and can be used in almost any dish, like salads, sandwiches and pastas.
Directions:
1) Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a resealable plastic bag. Add the salmon, seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
2) Pre-heat Grill
3) Remove salmon from the marinade and grill until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill to a plate and keep warm.
4) Put the pita bread on grill to heat through.
5) Serve by cutting pitas in half, filling them with salmon, and topping them with the tomato mixture and cucumber dill sauce. Add iceberg lettuce, if desired, and serve.

6) Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and set aside until ready to assemble the gyros.
Cucumber Dill Sauce
