SUMAC FISH & COUSCOUS SALAD (21 DAY WONDER DIET: DAY 3)
This is Day 3: Dinner, on the 21 day Wonder Diet. You can use any firm fish that is n season for this recipe. Sumac is a type of Middle-Eastern Spice, available from supermarkets. You can cook the fish without it if you like. The first time I made this recipe, I was unable to buy sumac, so I used a Portugese spice blend instead.

MAHI BA SOMAGH (SUMAC ROASTED FISH)
This flavorful and bright preparation of mahi, which means fish in Persian (not to be confused with mahi-mahi), comes together quickly. In keeping with the sour-leaning Iranian palate, a generous sprinkling of tart sumac and a drizzle of fragrant orange and lime juices coat butterflied whole fish. If your sumac has been languishing in the back of the spice drawer for some time, get a new jar. Over time, sumac loses its fragrance and punchy flavor and becomes bitter and bland. The key to successfully roasting the fish is to remove excess moisture by patting them dry with paper towels. Serve with a side of rice with tahdig, plain steamed rice or oven-baked fries and a simple salad.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Use paper towels to gently pat the fish dry inside and out, and place the fish on the prepared pan.
- Zest half of the orange directly into a small bowl, then squeeze in the juice from that half (about 3 tablespoons) and the juice from half of the lime (just under 1 tablespoon). Slice the remaining orange and lime halves and set aside for serving. In another small bowl, combine the sumac and turmeric.
- Drizzle the fish with the olive oil inside and out. Open the fish up like books and evenly sprinkle with the pepper and salt. (If using fine salt or coarse kosher salt, use 3/4 teaspoon.) Arrange the open fish in a single layer, angling and overlapping slightly if needed to fit. Drizzle on the citrus mixture and then dust with the sumac mixture to cover most of the flesh.
- Roast the fish until flaky and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Garnish with the reserved orange slices, lime slices and fresh mint, and serve.

- Meanwhile, make dressing by combining yogurt, rind and juice in medium bowl.
- Quarter potatoes; add to dressing with tuna, onion and parsley, stir to combine. Serve salad topped with egg.
Tips:
- For the Best Flavor: Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and cucumbers. If you can, try to find heirloom tomatoes, as they have a much more intense flavor than regular tomatoes.
- Don't Overcook the Fish: The fish should be cooked until it is just opaque in the center. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
- Use a Good Quality Sumac: Sumac is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a sumac that is bright red in color and has a slightly tart flavor.
- Make the Salad Ahead of Time: This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.
