Tuna with samkeh harra sauce

This is another simpler version of the samkeh harra recipe, made with tuna cans, but you can definitely replace the tuna with fish fillets. If you want a quick night meal, you can just use this recipe, it's healthy, simple and delicious.

The samkeh harra recipe is a lebanese speciality. Translated from arabic it simply means "spicy fish". This dish  hails from Tripoli, Lebanon's Northern port city. Usually it is made with white-fleshed fish, such as sea bass, dogfish, grey mullet, grouper, John Dory or  cod. You can get fillets, too, if it is more convenient, or even more convenient use tuna cans.
