    This was okay, but not sure I would make again. The ratio of butter to tahini seemed off to me with too much butter. I also think the cooking method leaves little room for error. You are dry roasting the fish and then adding the butter after it is done. Others reviewers complained it was overdone, but mine was underdone. It is probably a window of less than a minute for perfection.

    Easy recipe. I'm not sure if it was my fish, but the cod turned out a bit tough. I followed the instructions and took out one thinner fillet first - the temps coming out were about 125F. Flavor was good but didn't pop for us. I probably won't make this again.

    This was pretty good, came together quickly and didn't involve too many ingredients you wouldn't have on hand. Will probably make again if I have some cod on hand.

    Very good! I used squeezable tahini, which made it a lot easier. More cayenne than indicated doesn't hurt either.

    Easy and tasty. This was great served with rice and sauteed spinach since the sauce added to those simple dishes too.

    I loved this recipe! I made it with mahi mahi instead of cod and I grilled the fish instead of roasting it. The tahini butter is so delicious! I may have put too much on my filet but it was still tasty. I also served this with an arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette and it was a perfect light summer dinner!

    This was tasty, and the tahini butter is the key. Make enough to slather each of the fillets with a good amount.

    This was okay but not a huge success. I liked the sauce but the cod quickly went from tough/uncooked to tough/overcooked. We liked the sesame seeds but I'm not sure if I'll circle back to this recipe.

    I thought this one was really tasty.

    This was ok but we didn't love it. Maybe it was my tahini (Trader Joes) but the sauce, which is supposed to be the star of the dish, turned out a little thick, lumpy, and grainy all at the same time. Maybe straining the sauce first would help. There are so many interesting dishes in this book that I doubt we'll double back and try this one again.
