I believe the real magic happens when you put tahini on fish. This dish is a grilled snapper topped with a spicy tahini sauce, fresh herbs, pomegranate, and pine nuts. If you're short on time or cooking for a few people, you can make this with fish fillets instead!

Made this insanely delicious green tahini fish for a celebration lunch. I used barramundi fillets which I baked in a hot oven for 18 minutes. I then drizzled over the amazing green sauce and topped with mint, radish and pomegranate. Adding this to my cook again list!
