This heart-healthy Greek seafood sandwich combines leftover grilled mackerel fillet with a spicy red pepper flake yogurt sauce, served in warmed pita. Mackerel is rich in omega-3s, making this sandwich light yet filling.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Reheat the Fish

8 min

Reheat the leftover grilled mackerel fillet in a skillet over low heat for 8 minutes, then separate it into large flakes with a fork.

2

Make the Sauce

5 min

Mix the strained yogurt with the lemon juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and salt.

3

Chill the Fish with the Sauce

15 min

Mix the flaked fish with half of the sauce and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

4

Warm the Pita

5 min

Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet for 5 minutes, turning them until soft on both sides.

5

Fill and Serve

7 min

Divide the lettuce, red onion, fish marinated in the sauce, and remaining sauce among the warmed pitas. Sprinkle with dill and serve.

Reminder

Do not stir the fish too much while reheating; the fillet flakes easily and can lose its texture. Allergens: contains fish (mackerel), wheat (gluten in pita), and dairy (yogurt).
