SUMAC BAKED FISH WITH SAFFRON QUINOA

Steps:

• For the quinoa:
• Wash the quinoa by placing it in a fine-mesh colander and rinsing thoroughly.
• Place all the ingredients in a large pot, stir gently for 1 minute to dissolve the salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, without stirring.
• Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and reserve until ready to serve.
• For the fish:
• In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the sumac rub and set aside.
• Arrange the fish fillets, skin-side down on a rimmed sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush both sides with the olive oil and lime juice mixture. Sprinkle the sumac rub all over the fish. Cover with plastic wrap. Keep chilled in the fridge until ready to cook (15 minutes to 1 hour).
• Shortly before you are ready to serve, preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C). Uncover the sheet pan, place it in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until fish is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, mix all the ingredients for the green sauce topping and set aside.
• Remove the fish from the oven and place 1 tablespoon of the topping on each fillet. Serve with quinoa.

PINK GRAPEFRUIT AND SUMAC SALAD

Steps:

• Top and tail five grapefruits so they'll stand on a board. Cut down the side of each grapefruit, following its natural lines, to remove the skin and white pith. Over a bowl to catch the juices, cut in between the membranes to separate the individual segments. Dry the segments on kitchen paper and squeeze any juice from the skin and membranes into a saucepan.
• Squeeze enough juice from the last grapefruit to make the juice in the pan up to 300ml. Add the sugar and chilli, bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens and you have about five tablespoons-worth of juice left - this could take up to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool down, then whisk in the oil, lemon juice, sumac and a quarter-teaspoon of salt.
• In a large bowl, put the grapefruit segments, onion, chicory, watercress and basil. Pour over three-quarters of the dressing and toss gently. (If it seems dry, add all the dressing; otherwise, save it in the fridge for another leafy salad.) Serve at once.
