Ingredients for Sumac Baked Fish With Saffron Quinoa

  • 725ml (540g) quinoa

  • 950ml (950ml) water

  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt

  • 60ml (60 ml) olive oil

  • 1/4 teaspoons ground saffron

  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt

  • 1 cucharadita de pimienta recién molida

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric

  • 40g sumac powder

  • 4 fillets of salmon, striped bass, or catfish (each 1/2 in (1cm) thick

  • about 900g (900g) total weight)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil combined with 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 60ml (55g) shelled walnuts, roughly chopped

  • 1 cup (85g) basil, fresh, roughly chopped

  • 1 cup (85g) coriander, fresh, roughly chopped

  • 1 cup (85g) mint, fresh, roughly chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped

  • 2 cucharadas de jugo de lima

  • 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt

  • 1/2 cucharaditas de pimienta recién molida

  • 60ml (60ml) olive oil

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.

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.
