I don't like salmon, so I used canned crab meat. Very nice taste.

This was a very good recipe, had it for lunch today. It was quite easy and quick to make. I did have to increase the lemon juce, dill, and a tbsp. of mayo in the salad, as well as add a bit of salt and white pepper, because it had seemed a bit dry and less flavorful than I wanted and the fishiness was coming through a bit strong. But the additions did a lot for it and it tasted very good after that. I liked how the cucumber and lettuce tasted with the salad in the pita- it was very cooling- I think this would be a great lunch idea for hot summer days with a nice cold drink and some fresh fruit to boot. Good recipe! :)

The tiny bones in the salmon bothered me with this one. Maybe I would make it with tuna.

These were so yummy! They'll be a staple around here in the summer. ;) I doubled the sour cream, mayo, dill, and lemon juice... I also threw in a bit of garlic powder, black pepper, and a chopped green onion. My new favorite sandwich!!
