Our colleague Razak told us about this lucky combo: In Iran, where she was born, fish symbolize life and herbs represent rebirth. Cuts of freshwater fish, like these fillets of trout, benefit from simple pan-frying to emphasize the delicate texture and taste. Long-grain basmati rice is made vibrant with a stain of saffron—sunny, earthy and fragrant—and an invigorating mixture of herbs worked in with a pat of butter.
