Fish in Pitta with Lemon Pepper Mayonnaise and Salad

Finally getting my creativity back after a lull and loving being back in the kitchen. Plus enjoying the warmer weather and the options for summer dinners this brings.

Pro-tip: get too hungry after cooking and forget to take photo for blog...

I may make this again as it was delicious - note to self, come back and add photo if I do.

Serves 2

2 white fish fillets (I used pollock, but just because we had it in the freezer)
2 pitta breads
Salad (whatever you like)
1/4 Red onion
2-3 tbsp mayonnaise
1-2 garlic cloves
Zest of 1 lemon
Few drops lemon juice
Coarsely ground black pepper
1 tbsp single cream or yoghurt
1 tbsp oil

Prep your salad first, as needed. Slice the red onion very thinly. Spread these over 2 plates.

Next the mayonnaise - add the mayonnaise, crushed garlic, lemon juice and single cream or yoghurt to a bowl and mix until homogenous.
Add the lemon zest and black pepper bit by bit to taste (I used all of the zest from 1 medium lemon)
Mix through and taste, adjust as needed.

Put the pittas in to toast
Heat the oil in a frying pan until hot
Add the fish to the pan once hot and let cook on each side for around 2 minutes until done and the surface begins to brown.
Slice open the pittas down the side and place a fish fillet in each.

Serve up the pittas with salad to add as you like, mayonnaise in the centre for helping yourself.
