3. 3Toss the rice with the remaining sumac, lemon juice, dill, and a little salt.
4. 4Quickly soften the onion in the remaining olive oil until just translucent, then cool slightly.
5. 5Soften the flatbread briefly in a dry pan or dip rice paper wrappers in warm water until pliable.

Tips

• Let the fish cool for a minute before folding so it stays in generous flakes.
• Keep the rice just warm, not hot, so the wrappers stay flexible and do not tear.
• A few sliced radishes make the filling even more crisp and vivid.
