Mediterranean Baked Fish and Artichoke Hummus

The other day when I went shopping and I got Pita Bread. The first time I had Pita Bread, I hated it. Its so dry. But anyway, I started liking pita bread with Hummus and the grilled vegetables. I always used to make grilled chicken and some vegetable skewers with it but this time I made fish bake with vegetables in mediterranean style and it turned out great. I thought the fish would be bland but it took all the flavors and was yummy
                        And ofcourse I can't have pita bread without Hummus and today I made Artichoke Hummus mainly because I didn't have lemon. And it tastes great. So here are the recipes
