Step 3 : Marinate the Fish

In a separate bowl, combine cumin powder, fish masala, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil. Ensuring it's well-marinated.

Step 2 : Cook the Rice

Wash and rinse the rice, heat a pot over medium heat and add oil. Sauté the garlic and onion, then add the homemade sayadieh spice to the mix, then the rice. Stir the rice with spices. Pour in water, and season with salt. Add a cinnamon stick, a dry lemon, and a bay leaf. Cook uncovered for 1-3 minutes, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 12 minutes.

Step 4 : Pan-fry the Fish

Place a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the seabass skin-side down, and cook for 3 minutes on each side.

Step 6 : Serve and Enjoy!

Allocate the cooked rice onto plates, garnishing it with almond nuts and coriander leaves. Place the pan-fried fish on top of the rice. Drizzle the prepared yoghurt sauce over the fish.
