Tuesday: Broiled Tilapia Gyros

Adapted from Cooking Light

Personal Note: So as promised I used the last of the Naan bread! I love seafood by SOMEONE else in the house is allergic to shellfish, sort of. He refuses to go to the doctor and taint his perfect non-attendance for the last decade? He has tummy reactions to shrimp and most fish. We’ve found he can eat tilapia and tuna, so this is what I make! If you love Greek food like we do, you’ll enjoy this. You won’t even have to put Windex on it. (Big Fat Greek Wedding, anyone?)

Plan of Attack:

1. Make the Tzatziki (yogurt spread)

2. Broil Tilapia

Ingredients for 2:

Tzatziki-

½ C greek yogurt

1 tsp dill

½ tsp lemon juice

¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

1/8 tsp salt

1 garlic clove (or more if you prefer), minced

Fish-

2 tilapia filets

½ Tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Old Bay Seasoning to taste

Gyro Topping-

2 Flatbreads/gryos/Naan

½ English Cucumber, sliced thinly

4 tomato slices

2 thin slices of red onion

Instructions:

1. Preheat Broiler to high (if available)
2. Prepare fish: place fish on a foil wrapped baking sheet. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and Old Bay Seasoning on both sides
3. Broil for 6-7 minutes or until fish can be easily flaked with a fork at the thickest part.
4. While the fish broils, mix the tzakziki. In a small bowl combine yogurt, dill, lemon juice, black pepper, salt and garlic; stir. OR for a smoother consistency combine ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
5. Spread Tzakziki onto a flatbread, top with fish and other toppings
6. Enjoy!
