Salmon with Tzatziki in Pita Bread

What a great recipe!  We really enjoyed the fresh, light goodness of this pita bread entree.  I decided to just use fresh, grilled salmon instead of making a burger so I could cut out some carbs.  We loaded up the pita with the salmon, lettuce, tomato, avacado, and the tzatziki sauce.  I cut the recipe in half for the sauce and it was just the right amount for about 2 lbs. of salmon.

Salmon Burgers with Tzatziki in Pita Bread
*1 egg
*¼ cup breadcrumbs
*salt and pepper, to taste
*2 tbsp of lemon juice
*1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
*1 can salmon (take out tiny bones)

1. Mix all items together, adding more breadcrumbs if mix is too sticky
2. Broil for about 3 minutes on each side- I like mine a little more “done” so this will vary. You can also pan fry them with a bit of olive oil
3. Stuff into pita pockets with tzatziki, tomatos, and lettuce

Tzatziki (only if you want to, I bought mine premade)
*2 (8 ounce) containers plain yogurt
*2 cucumbers – peeled, seeded and diced
*2 lemon, juiced
*salt and pepper to taste
*1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
*3 cloves garlic, peeled

1. In a food processor or blender, combine yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, salt, pepper, dill and garlic. Process until well-combined.
2. Transfer to a separate dish, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour for best flavor.
