Lettuce Gyros with Spicy Halibut and Tzatziki
Serves 4-6

4 6 ounce filets of halibut (catfish, salmon, snapper, branzino, tuna, etc.)
4 tablespoons of olive oil
4 limes, halved
1 tablespoons of good chili spice blend
1 head of Butterleaf Lettuce, leaves separate
1 head of radicchio, leaves separate
5 Roma tomatoes, diced for garnish
1 medium red onion, sliced thinly for garnish
Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped fine
2 tablespoons of parsley, rough chopped
2 heads of scallion, sliced thinly on the biased for garnish on yogurt
sea salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Preheat grill or oven to 400 degrees.

Season the fish with half of the olive oil, half of the lime juice, chili blend, salt and pepper. Let sit and absorb for 10 minutes. Place on the grill or in the oven until cooked through, but not dry, about 6-8 minutes. In a mixing bowl, mix the tomtoes, onion, olives, oregano, parsley, the remaining olive oil, remaining limes juice, salt and pepper and blend well. Once the fish is done, remove from the oven and let sit until slightly warm. On lukewarm serving plates, layer a butterleaf leaf with a radicchio leaf and flake a generous amount of catfish into each one. Top with the tomatoes and onion mixture. Spoon on a dollop of the yogurt and garnish with the scallions. Serve immediately.

Cucumber Yogurt (Tzatziki)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic, about 1 large clove
1 teaspoon kosher salt.
2 cups plain yogurt (low-fat)
1 cup peeled, seeded and grated cucumber, about 1 medium cucumber

Add lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and salt to the yogurt. Add grated cucumber and mix well. Chill for at least one hour.
