BAKU FISH KEBABS
In her new cookbook, "Taste of Persia," Naomi Duguid gives this simple recipe from Azerbaijan for fish kebabs marinated with lemon juice and dill. To serve, the fish is sprinkled with tart sumac powder, available in most spice shops or online, and served with a fresh pomegranate relish. Cooking the fish mostly on the skin side keeps it moist.

Steps:
- To make relish, put pomegranate seeds in heavy bowl and mash with a pestle or wooden spoon to release some juices. Add salt and lemon juice, stir and set aside for about 30 minutes. Wait until just before serving to add chopped cilantro.
- Slice the fish fillets crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide pieces and lay them in a shallow dish. Mix together lemon juice, dill, salt and olive oil and pour mixture over fish. Flip the fish in the marinade to coat well and set aside for 30 minutes or so.
- Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium, and place the grill rack about 5 inches above the coals or flame.
- Thread the fish slices on skewers with the skin side down. Place fish skin side down on rack and grill for 10 minutes, then flip and cook other side until just done, another 4 minutes or so.
- Transfer fish to a platter and garnish with onions, scallions and tomato slices, if using. Spoon some pomegranate relish over fish. Sprinkle everything lightly with salt and then generously with sumac powder.

Steps:
- Kebobs: Put the salmon, halibut and tuna in a resealable plastic bag. In a medium bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour the oil mixture over the fish and seal the bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Thread each skewer with 2 pieces of salmon, 2 pieces of halibut and 2 pieces of tuna, alternating the fish on the skewers.
- Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the butter to the center of a 6-inch-square piece of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic over the butter and form it into a log, about 4-inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Refrigerate until firm, about for 1 hour. Slice the butter into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices and transfer them to a plate.
- Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the fish with salt and pepper, to taste, and grill the skewers until opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve the butter alongside.

Steps:

- Heat 1/2 inch oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry patties in 2 batches, gently turning over once or twice with tongs, until golden and just cooked through, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer as fried to paper towels to drain.
- If serving as an hors d'oeuvre, put each patty on a skewer and serve with chutney for dipping. If serving as a first course, divide patties among 6 plates (about 3 per person) and drizzle with chutney.
