Instructions
Pat mahi-mahi fillets dry and brush both sides with olive oil. In a small bowl, combine sumac, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets.

⏱️ 10 minutes 🌡️ 400°FWhile fish cooks, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and water in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Adjust with more water if needed for drizzling consistency.
⏱️ 2 minutesToss parsley, cilantro, mint, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion in a bowl to make the herb salad.
