Syrian Samak bil Tahini
Fish with Tahini Sauce
A comforting and flavorful dish where baked or fried fish is bathed in a rich, creamy tahini sauce, often served with rice.
🧂 Ingredientes
- 1.5 lb White fish fillets(such as cod, sea bass, or tilapia)
- 1 cup Tahini
- 1/2 cup Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves(minced)
- 1/2 cup Water(or more, to thin the sauce)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/4 cup Parsley(fresh, chopped, for garnish)
- 1/4 cup Toasted pine nuts(for garnish (optional))
👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the fish fillets dry and season with salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the fish fillets for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Alternatively, you can bake the fish directly without searing.
- 3
In a bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the water, a little at a time, until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. It should be thick but not pasty.

If you seared the fish, place the skillet in the preheated oven. If not, transfer the seasoned fish to a baking dish. Pour the tahini sauce evenly over the fish fillets.
- 5
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The sauce should be bubbly.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and toasted pine nuts, if using, before serving.
