Fish (tuna) cooked with tahini sauce

In the native tongue: "Tajen Samak bi Tahini". This style of fish is said to be very popular in Syria and Lebanon.
From "The new book of Middle Eastern food."

Housemate Mike took the lead on this one. We used some of the frozen tuna fillets from Trader Joe's, which I've been generally disappointed with in the past. As is often the case, these fillets ended up fairly tough and dry.

Thankfully, the sauce in this dish is nice and rich and thick, although fairly mild in flavor. All in all, a tasty meal.
