Made my own version of chicken shawarma Friday night. Since I don't have one of those vertical doner broilers, I sort of create my own using a grill and skewers, rotating the chicken thighs every few minutes. I usually pound out the chicken and marinate it for two days in yogurt, garlic, lemon, tumeric, cumin, and other stuff. The flatbreads are pretty easy; it's just flour, butter, and milk, but I've also used coconut oil and yogurt, topped with herbs like oregano and parsley. For the other ingredients, this time I had a yogurt sriaracha sauce, za'atar baby tomatoes, grilled onions and peppers, chopped cilantro and parsley, and a hefty bit of feta with a squeeze of lemon. The combination of flavors was amazing, so I'll be doing these again exactly the same way.

It was really good. I think I was influenced by a restaurant in the Le Marais district of Paris called Miznon, which specializes in these pitas stuffed with lamb or chicken and a ton of herbs and aromatics. It was probably the most delicious sandwich/pita I've ever had, so now I'm maxing out my herb usage.
Made these french onion Gouda stuffed meatballs for the fight last night.

Absolutely.
My friend gave me some local redfish he caught in Virginia. Really interesting fish that I blackened using butter and various spices. Would probably say it's similar to rockfish. I'm hoping to grab a few whole red snappers and borrow a buddy's deep fryer so that I can prepare some Nicaraguan fried fish.

smoked salmon isn't sushi tho 
Also, if you cook smoked salmon, it's no longer smoked.
I love sushi too, but a common misconception is that it's about the fish - sushi is all about the rice. It's about the preparation of vinegar rice and then adding condiments (whether cucumbers, eggs, raw fish, fermented plums, seaweed) to the rice itself.
