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

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!
