    My preserved lemons had turned to mush in the fridge when I wasn’t looking so I didn’t have those. Agree with other reviewers that this was a lovely dish. Makes LOADS of salsa so I am now wondering what I will do with that... I didn’t peel the tomatoes - wizzed it all up in my nutribullet. Yum!

    Made this for a weeknight dinner for two. My fishmonger didn't have sea bass so I subbed halibut since it was in season. It's not pomegranate season so I couldn't find any in the stores and had to skip that. Even with the substitution/deletion it was fantastic! I think the labneh and the preserved lemon really made it. I am looking forward to making it again for a dinner party. As a main, I will serve the pita on the side.

    Great fast recipe for a weeknight- I subbed Greek yogurt for the labneh and it was still amazing. Any firm white fish can be used (I used rockfish).

    Excellent starter/mid-sized dish. The labneh is really interesting and very easy to make - well worth the limited effort. Don't use too much dried chilli in the salsa as it can overpower the fish flavour. The pomegranate seeds are essential and really lift the falvour and appearance of this dish. If using shop bought preserved lemons a single fruit would do for probably up to 6 people.
