This simple fish dish is quick to prepare, full of flavor, and truly satisfying. I always make it when I’m short on time, and it works great! This recipe can also be made with salmon cubes.
5 tablespoons Gefen Olive Oil, plus more for drizzling
6 branzino fillets, cut into cubes or strips
techinah, for serving (recipe below)
Gefen Honey, for drizzling
coarse salt, to taste
fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish
Pereg Za’atar, for sprinkling (optional)
18 ounce (510 grams) Mighty Sesame Tahini, or 2 cups and 2 tablespoons
2 cups and 2 tablespoons water
juice of 1 lemon or 3 tablespoons Tuscanini Lemon Juice
1 head of garlic, peeled
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
Pour the tahini and water into the food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and blend for several minutes, until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the branzino and sear for a few minutes until golden brown on all sides.
Spread a layer of techinah on each plate. Top with the seared fish.
Drizzle with olive oil and a touch of honey and sprinkle with salt and parsley. If desired, sprinkle some za’atar on top for extra flavor.
