This tasty fish dish comes from Lebanon. Time does not include 1 hour in the refrigerator. Ingredients:
1/2 lb thick white fish fillet |
sea salt |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup water |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 large onion, sliced thin |
1 garlic clove, sliced |
3 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste) |
1/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle the fish with sea salt & refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
3. Mix the olive oil, salt & 1/2 cup of water in a nonstick skillet. Cook the onions in the skillet for 10 minutes or until the onions are soft & the water has evaporated.
4. Allow the onions to slowly turn golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic & cook for another minute or two.
5. Meanwhile, steam the fish over a pot of boiling water until the flesh is barely flaky. Cool & break into small pieces. Mix the fish in with the onions then spread into the baking dish.
6. Combine the tahini & 1/4 cup water by beating well in a mixing bowl. Gradually stir in the lemon juice until smooth & creamy.
7. Pour over the fish mixture & cook in the oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
8. Serve cool or chilled, garnished with fresh parsley.
