This simple recipe features tahini in a versatile sauce that’s tasty on other fish and chicken too. Tahini is simply a paste made from sesame seeds and can be found in most grocery stores in the Middle Eastern food section. This recipe is definitely for garlic lovers. If you’re not a huge fan, use only one clove.
