Fish And Spicy Recipes

One of my all time favorites!

Great healthy soup recipe for fish lovers that I found in soups cookbook. Modified a little to lower calaries, but tastes great. Always a great hit with my family!

Background: “Samke Harra” translated from Arabic into Hot or Spicy Fish is a popular specialty dish of the port city of Tripoli El-Mina, Lebanon. One specific restaurant I recall from childhood is “Abou Fadi” which carries the name of its old late owner who himself was a fisherman. Abou Fadi made the best Samke Harra sandwiches hands down at least back in the day, because he always used fresh fish! Today his place is called “Malak El Samkeh Harrah” which means the King of Spicy Fish and I heard that it’s run by his children. Fortunately we found this random youtube video about the restaurant for the curious…

Samke Harra is made of baked fish, a spicy tahini sauce and other spices and ingredients and can be eaten as a sandwich, or served in plates. It makes for a nice dinner if you have people over. Mom used to make it on special occasions when we had people over for dinner so it was a treat for us… We’ve tried eating Samkeh Harrah out in different places in Lebanon and outside of the country, and to be honest the best recipe ever was that of the people of Tripoli El-Mina so this is the one we’re going to feature today.

My favorite fish soup! I found this on epicurious.com but changed it so much that it's much more Mediterranean/North African than website's English/Scottish designation. I cut more than half the oil, added spices, more veg and beans for fiber/nutrition. I used my home roasted tomatoes but recommend Muir Glen fire roasted if you have to use canned. I cheated and used jarred roasted peppers and they were fine. I adore the cod here but it will be fun to try other firm fleshed fish and seafood (epicurious.com readers recommend shrimp, bay scallops, tilapia, grouper and red snapper). Great for a family dinner or company with good bread and salad (or over rice, pasta or another grain). Don't let the long list of ingredients put you off, it took less than an hour to put this dish together.

Use this rub for any fish - works especially well with mild white fish like Talapia

This sauce is made using the "broth" from poached white fish/flounder

Spicy, crunchy-topped fish fillets. High protein, low fat, and very tasty. Contrasts well with fresh asparagus as a side dish.

Great summer dish to break out of the traditional barbecue rut. Light and healthy, yet delicious!!!

Easy and healthy dish you'll love! Has a kick of spice you can easily dial down or up to meet your taste.

Using a good quality tomato sauce makes this a super quick dish - easy for midweek supper but stylish enough for dinner with friends. I've use cod in this dish, but you could use any fish or seafood you prefer. Serve with rice, couscous or flat breads.

4 cod fillets (4 oz. each)
Jalapeno - seeded and chopped
