Broiled Halibut with Tamarind and Herb Sauce

I’m a child of northern Iran, and the recipes in this book reflect that. However, it seems fitting to include a dish influenced by the flavors of southern Iran. This region is celebrated for its creative use of tamarind, dates, distinctive regional spices, and the bounty of seafood from the Persian Gulf.

This particular sauce captures the essence of southern Iran, offering a spicy, mildly sweet tang that perfectly complements the rich, creamy texture of halibut. My friend Zahra Raze
