Sumac Sea Bass with Pomegranate-Tahini Drizzle
Sumac-rubbed pan-seared sea bass drizzled with a tangy pomegranate-tahini sauce and topped with fresh pomegranate seeds.

Sumac gives this sea bass a tart, slightly fruity edge before it even hits the pan, and a quick pomegranate-tahini drizzle ties the whole dish together with a nutty, tangy finish. It's a simple preparation that lets a handful of well-chosen ingredients do the heavy lifting.
Sea bass is a good source of lean protein and omega-3 fats, and sumac itself carries notable antioxidant activity, a quality it shares with the pomegranate seeds and molasses folded into the sauce. Tahini contributes plant-based fats along with a creamy texture, while fresh garlic and lemon round out a sauce that's entirely dairy-free.
This dish comes together in well under 30 minutes and pairs nicely with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a light, low-carb dinner.
Ingredients
These ingredients are common at Middle Eastern grocers; a well-stocked international supermarket usually carries them too.
