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.

Historically, it was a fisherman's meal originating on the Mediterranean coast of Syria and Lebanon, but the dish can now be found throughout the Middle East. It is a staple of coastal cities in the Arab world.
