Ingredients: 1 (2-pound) sea bass, cleaned and gutted, fins trimmed; Kosher salt; 5 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing; 2 oranges, sliced into 1/8-inch thick rounds; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 6 tablespoons orange juice; 2 tablespoons dried sumac, plus more for sprinkling; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; Cooked saffron rice, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry. Rub inside and out with 1 tablespoon salt. Lay the fish on an oiled baking dish.
2. Lay the orange slices over the fish and brush lightly with oil. In a small bowl, whisk together 5 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic, orange juice, sumac, and cinnamon. Pour half over the fish. Bake until the fish is opaque inside, 30 to 40 minutes, drizzling a tablespoon of the remaining marinade over the fish a few times during cooking.
3. Serve the fish on a large platter and pour the pan juices over the top. Sprinkle more sumac over the fish and the platter and serve with saffron rice.
