Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, grated garlic, and salt. Add water 1 tbsp at a time, whisking until the sauce is smooth and pourable — it should fall off a spoon in a thin, steady ribbon. Set aside.

Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the salmon with 1 tbsp olive oil, za'atar, cumin, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Let the salmon rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
