Brush over salmon fillets and let marinate for 10–15 minutes.

Break into large chunks.
Make the tzatziki:
Mix yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill/mint, and salt.
Chill until ready to serve.
Assemble the wraps:
Warm wraps or pita for flexibility.
Spread 2–3 tbsp tzatziki on each wrap.

Add chunks of salmon on top.
Roll tightly (or fold pita) and garnish with parsley/dill.
Serve:
Slice in half and serve with extra tzatziki for dipping.
Notes & Tips
For a lighter option, serve in lettuce cups instead of wraps.
Great with grilled zucchini or roasted red peppers tucked inside.
Use smoked salmon for a quick no-cook variation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I meal prep these wraps?
Yes! Cook the salmon and make the tzatziki ahead. Store separately, then assemble wraps just before serving to avoid sogginess.
Q: What’s the best salmon for this recipe?
Skinless fillets work best. You can also use canned salmon for a faster version.
