Rub the sea bream fillets with olive oil, half the salt, and black pepper.
Bake the fish at 190°C for 18 to 20 minutes, until the flesh flakes easily.
Whisk the tahini, lemon juice, crushed garlic, remaining salt, and 0.5 cup water into a smooth sauce.
Finely chop the cilantro and hot pepper, then stir them into the tahini sauce.
Toast the walnuts and pine nuts in a dry pan for 3 minutes, until fragrant.
Transfer the baked fish to a serving plate and drizzle the tahini sauce over it.
Scatter the toasted nuts on top and serve with lavash and arugula.
💡 Tip: If the tahini is thick, add the lemon water little by little; trying to loosen it all at once can make the sauce clump.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve samkeh harra on a mezze-leaning table with optional lavash, arugula, radishes, and sumac onions.
