Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Salmon Greek Pita Sandwiches.
Step 1
To start, if you're using frozen salmon, make sure to thaw it completely.
Step 2
Once thawed, give the salmon a quick rinse under cold water and gently pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Now, let’s get that grill ready! Preheat it to a medium-high heat, which is perfect for cooking the salmon to perfection.
Step 4
Next, grab a generous piece of Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil, about 18x18 inches.
Step 5
Place some sliced red onion right in the center of the foil—this will add a lovely flavor to your salmon.
Step 6
Lay the salmon fillet on top of the onions, then drizzle it with a splash of olive oil.
Step 7
Don’t forget to season it with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of black pepper for that extra zing.
Step 8
For a burst of freshness, arrange a few lemon slices over the salmon.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to create a cozy little packet.
Step 10
Fold the foil around the salmon and onions, making sure to seal it well but leave some space inside for the heat to circulate.
Step 11
While you’re at it, stack your Greek pita flatbreads and wrap them tightly in another piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil to keep them warm and soft.
Step 12
Place the salmon packet on the grill and let it cook for about 12 to 14 minutes.
Step 13
You’ll know it’s ready when the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the onions are tender.
Step 14
For the last five minutes, add the wrapped flatbreads to the grill, turning them once to warm them through.
Step 15
When the cooking time is up, carefully open the salmon packet by cutting along the top folds with a sharp knife—watch out for the steam! Discard the lemon slices and use two forks to flake the salmon into delicious chunks.
Step 16
Now comes the fun part: assembling your pitas! Take each pita and fill it with the flaky salmon, tender onions, some chopped romaine lettuce, and quartered tomatoes for a fresh crunch.
Step 17
Fold the pitas in half, and they’re ready to serve.
Step 18
For a delightful finishing touch, whip up a quick sauce by mixing Greek yogurt with snipped basil and dill in a small bowl.
Step 19
Drizzle this creamy goodness over your filled pitas just before serving.
Step 20
Enjoy your flavorful, grilled salmon pitas—perfect for a sunny day or a cozy evening in!.
