Sayadieh (Arabic: صيادية) is a seasoned fish and rice dish from the Middle East, made with cumin and other spices, as well as fried onions.
The spice mix is called baharat in Arabic and its preparation varies from cook to cook but may include caraway, cinnamon, cumin and coriander.
Depending on the degree of caramelization the sauce can range from light brown to a deep black with a strong, pungent taste.
The rice is often colored by cooking it with caramelized onion.
The dish is garnished with slivered almonds and toasted pine nuts, as well as fried onions.
