Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 0.25 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup baby spinach or arugula
• 4 ciabatta rolls or sandwich buns, halved
• 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and rub them with olive oil, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the seasoned fish to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh dill. Stir well to combine, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 5

If toasting the ciabatta rolls or buns, spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides and toast them in a pan or under a broiler until golden brown.

Step 6

Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous layer of the yogurt sauce on the bottom half of each bun.

Step 7

Layer the cooked fish fillet, cucumber slices, tomato slices, red onion, and baby spinach or arugula on top of the sauce.

Step 8

Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Optionally, secure with a toothpick for easier handling.
