Sea Bass with Spiced Caramelized Onion Rice

This fragrant dish called seeyadeeyeh is a family favourite. It was handed down to my Aunt Amale by my grandmother, finally making its way into my repertoire. My grandmother grew up along the coast of Batroun where her family’s picturesque restaurant, Jammal, still stands overlooking the water grottos where she once swam. This recipe is a homage to her sea-loving soul.
