“Samkeh Harra” simply means spicy fish. This is a specialty dish where a lightly lemon-marinated fish is baked, then covered with a mouth-watering sauce made with Tahini paste (roasted sesame seeds), lemon juice, garlic and spices. For those who are not familiar with Tahini, it’s a paste made from crushing/blending roasted sesame seeds.
The best fish that goes with this is the Red Snapper type. At Lebanese Food Online we use only the best Snapper to prepare this show-stopping dish.
Reserved usually for that special occasions.
Option: Can be prepared mild (not hot) instead of spicy.
