Step 1
Whisk tahini with lemon juice, minced garlic, and warm water until smooth and pourable. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Pat fish dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper, then place in the skillet without moving.
Step 4
Sear 3 minutes per side until the surface is golden and flesh flakes gently with a fork.
Step 5
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the hot fish. Scatter lemon zest and fresh parsley on top.
Step 6
Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
