Salmon probably is one of the best fishes for your health. So "they" say today. As we all run and gobble up what ever we think will make us younger, prettier or healthier, until "they" find that they were wrong and what was the "it" food now becomes the "not it" food. But I just like salmon. Damn it! Salmon is versatile, non fishy flavored hearty textured piece of flesh. Oh and did I mention it is not bony? I can not handle bones, no sirree. A fish bone will stop me dead in my eating tracks. A fish bone has ruined more than one meal and I guess it will ruin many more. I always choose my fish based on the possibility of finding a bone, yes Mr. Whitting Fish I will NEVER eat you, again. Enough about my fishboneaphobia, on to the sandwich of great desire.
As I travel past the fish counter at the local grocery store I spied a Salmon, Feta and Spinach Burger on display. Thinking that this might make a great gyro I proceeded to gather my ingredients. The pita bread to me is very important, being from Cleveland I am reather spoiled by the amount of different ethnic food products that are available. One thing for sure we have good pita! Right now my favorite is Assad's Pita from off of Lorain Ave. I took that pita and softened it in the microwave for about 10 seconds. This technique really changes up the flavor of the pita bread. The salmon burger was pan-fried in some olive oil until it had a crunchy exterior. I put that bad boy on the warm pita and a hand full of baby salad greens. The grand finale is the roasted garlic, lemon and dill aioli that I slathered on very generously. What a great sandwich!
