One flavor combination that comes up again and again in Persian cuisine is sumac, lime, and yogurt. This whole roasted fish recipe is the perfect place to put that trinity to work. When you smother the fish in sumac—literally packing it into the skin like you’re giving it a clay mask—it forms a crisp crust while infusing the fish with its unique floral acidity.
