Ingredients
  

The Fish

  • 1.5 pounds white fish, such as cod or halibut
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 large, or 8 small whole wheat tortillas

The Balsamic Cucumber Salad

  • 1 large cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 2-3 tomatoes, cored and diced
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and diced
  • 10 basil leaves, chopped
  • 3 tbsp parsley, minced
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • fresh cracked black pepper

The Greek Yogurt Sauce

  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced or pressed through garlic presser
  • pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil into the bottom of a baking dish.  Place the fish into the baking dish, turning to coat with the olive oil.  
  • Mix together the cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and salt.  Spread evenly over the tops of the fish.  Bake the fish until the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, about 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.
  • While the fish is cooking, place diced cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion into a large bowl.  Sprinkle with basil and parsley. 
  • Mix together ¼ cup olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and add the mixture to the bowl.  Stir well and set aside.
  • Mix 1 cup of plain greek yogurt with lemon juice and minced garlic.  Add a pinch of salt and set aside.
  • When the fish is done, distribute it evenly onto the tortillas.  Top with a few scoops of the cucumber tomato mixture, and spoon over the lemon greek yogurt sauce.  Enjoy!
