These Easy Fish Gyros are a tasty and healthy take on the regular gyro. Soft baked fish is served with a creamy Greek yogurt cucumber sauce and fresh vegetables. The whole thing is wrapped up in warm pita bread.

Ingredients: 4 fish fillets such as cod or tilapia. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 teaspoons paprika. 1 teaspoon dried oregano. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 pita breads. 1 cup Greek yogurt. 1 cucumber, diced. 1 tomato, sliced. 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped. Lemon wedges, for serving.

Instructions: Turn on the oven and heat it up to 400F 200C. Spices like oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper should be mixed together in a small bowl. Fish fillets should be put on a baking sheet that has parchment paper on it. Use the olive oil mix to coat the fillets. After the oven is hot, bake the fish for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it is flaky and cooked all the way through. Warm up the pita breads in the oven or on a pan while the fish is cooking. Add diced cucumber to a different bowl and mix Greek yogurt with it. When the fish is done, put a fish fillet on each warmed pita bread to make the gyros. Pour Greek yogurt cucumber sauce on top. Then add tomato slices, red onion, and chopped parsley. Put lemon wedges on the side and serve.
