Take inspiration from Middle Eastern spices when cooking up your next fish dinner. Kory Foltz, Executive Chef at Sunseeker Resort in Charlotte Harbor
When asked if there are any unexpected seasonings he recommends pairing with salmon, he shared, "Sumac is a cool one
You can find sumac in the spice section of most grocery stores and online. Particularly popular in places like Turkey, Iran, Palestine, and Syria
Commonly used to add character and brightness to chicken, Fattoush salad, and onions. Similarly, salmon pairs exceptionally well with sumac, especially if you incorporate other Middle Eastern flavors like za'atar
After preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, pat the filet dry before rubbing the salmon with olive oil, honey, and equal parts za'atar and sumac.
Cook the salmon for eight minutes, allowing for a minute or two of broiling before serving
