Mahi Kabab ba Somagh – Sumac Roasted Fish

Sometimes, a single scent or bite can awaken cherished memories. For me, it’s the irresistible aroma of Mahi Kabab ba Somagh – Sumac Roasted Fish that instantly transports me back to the shores of the Caspian Sea (Shomal).

There, we enjoyed “Mahi-e Kababi” – freshly caught whole fish, grilled right before our eyes and served with crusty bread, sumac onions, and a squeeze of lemon. Today, I recreate that flavor in my kitchen – effortlessly and in no time. Using my contact grill, I can prepare Mahi Kabab ba Somagh – Sumac Roasted Fish – in just 10 minutes.
