Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400˚. Cook the farro as the label directs; set aside. Meanwhile, working with 1 orange at a time, cut off the peel and white pith with a paring knife. Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes, letting the citrus and juices fall into the bowl.
- Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with olive oil. Add the fennel slices, leaving 4 empty spots for the fish fillets. Add the fish curved-side up to the pan; season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the thyme.
- Heat the olive oil and garlic in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the garlic sizzles and begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully pour the garlic and oil into the bowl with the citrus and stir well to combine; season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the citrus oil over the fish and fennel. Bake until the fish flakes when poked with a knife at the thickest part, 10 to 14 minutes. Divide the farro among plates and top with the fish, fennel and citrus mixture. Top with fennel fronds.

ARCTIC CHAR CARPACCIO WITH BEETS AND CITRUS
Similar to ceviche, carpaccio is thinly sliced raw fish that you drizzle with lemon juice, vinegar, or another acidic ingredient to "cook" it (i.e., firm up the flesh as heat would) in minutes. If you can't find arctic char, fluke, sea bass, and snapper are worthy swap-ins.

Steps:
- Pat fish dry and freeze, uncovered, until very firm but not frozen solid, about 45 minutes.
- Place beets in a medium saucepan fitted with a steamer basket set over simmering water. Cover and cook until easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 20 minutes. Remove and let standuntil cool enough to handle. Rub skins with a paper towel to remove, then thinly slice beetsinto half-moons. Refrigerate until cool, about 15 minutes.
- Trim ends of oranges flat; set a flat side on a cutting board. Slice off peel and pith in sections, following shape of sphere. Set fruit on its side. Cut toward center, along a membrane; slice along adjacent membrane to release supreme. Transfer to a bowl; repeat until all supremes are removed. Squeeze membranes over another bowl to release juices.
- Whisk together yuzu juice, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and oil; season with kosher salt, pepper,and sugar. Very thinly slice fish on a 45-degree angle, cutting away from skin. Arrange on a platter with beets and citrus supremes in an overlapping single layer. Drizzle evenly with yuzu dressing, sprinkle with tarragon and flaky salt, and serve immediately.
BEET CARPACCIO WITH MINT VINAIGRETTE
A vegetarian alternative to beef carpaccio. This recipe wins over so many people who thought they hated beets or just never wanted to even try them. I was that person - once I actually tasted this recipe, well, I was sold and have loved beets ever since. Once beets are steamed and peeled, it is simple and easy. Beets can be prepped a day ahead and stored in a bag or container, but I personally like bringing it all together in one shot.

Steps:
- Fill a pot with 3 inches of water, insert a steamer basket, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low and place beets inside the steamer basket. Cover pot. Cook until beets are easily pierced with a knife, checking water level periodically, 35 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and cool, about 30 minutes.
- Peel the beets; if you are using red and golden beets, peel the golden ones first so you don't end up turning them pink. Remove any remaining root stems. Thinly slice beets and arrange on a serving platter. I use a round plate and start in the center, alternating red and golden beet slices. Dot the top with goat cheese - you want to be able to see the beets but have enough cheese because it pairs so well with the beet. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
- Combine rice vinegar, olive oil, mint, and sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle over beets.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Tightly wrap beets in double layers of foil to make 3 packages (2 large beets or 4 medium per package) and roast on a baking sheet in middle of oven until tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Cool to warm in foil packages (the steam makes beets easier to peel), about 30 minutes.
- While beets are roasting, cook onions in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet, covered, over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 20 minutes. Add salt, sugar, and vinegar and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until onions are very tender and caramelized to deep brown, about 20 minutes more. Add wine and boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a food processor and pulse to a coarse purée. Return to skillet and season with salt and pepper, then reheat onion marmalade, covered, over low heat.
- While marmalade is reheating, peel beets, discarding stems and root ends, and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices with slicer.
- Divide warm marmalade among 6 dinner plates and spread evenly in a very thin layer to cover bottom of each plate using offset spatula. Arrange beet slices in 1 layer over onion, overlapping them only enough to cover onions. Drizzle 2 teaspoons oil over each serving and season with pepper. Shave 4 to 6 curls of Parmigiano-Reggiano with a vegetable peeler over beets on each plate. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Roast the beets: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the beets in a baking dish, then add 1 cup water. Cover tightly with foil. Roast until the beets yield when pierced with the tip of a knife, 1 to 1 1/2 hours, depending on the size of the beets. Set aside to cool.
- Make the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, lemon juice and red wine vinegar. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Season with kosher salt. Set aside.
- Make the walnuts: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When it gets hot (but not too hot), add the walnuts and season with kosher salt. They should fry slightly in the oil. When you can smell the nuts, add the paprika and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the nuts brown slightly. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Assemble the carpaccio: Lightly brush a platter (or individual plates) with olive oil. Rub the skin off of the beets with paper towels; trim any root tips and cut the beets into thin slices. Place in a single layer on the platter (or plates). Season with the sugar and flaky salt. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and top with the walnuts. Snip the chives into 1-inch pieces over the beets.

ARCTIC CHAR WITH SPINACH BUTTER
Darina Allen, known as the Julia Child of Ireland, has run the Ballymaloe Cooking School on an organic farm in east Cork for more than 30 years. Here's a lovely dish from her repertoire, a whole fish wrapped in a foil package, seasoned with nothing more than salt, pepper, butter and a sprig of tarragon. The fish emerges moist and juicy, ready for a creamy butter sauce packed with chopped spinach and herbs. Ms. Allen makes it with pink trout, which are plentiful in Ireland, but this recipe calls for Arctic char, which is more widely available in the United States. But you could substitute pink trout (also called coho trout) if you can find it, or large wild trout, or even thick fillets of steelhead trout or salmon.

Steps:
- Put spinach in a mixing bowl and pour boiling water over to wilt it. Drain in a colander, rinse with cool water and squeeze completely dry. Chop the spinach as finely as you can and set aside.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse fish and pat dry. Season fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Put a few tarragon springs in the belly cavity.
- Line a roasting pan with a big piece of foil slightly longer than the fish, leaving ends hanging over. Smear middle section of foil lengthwise with 1 tablespoon soft butter and set fish on top. Smear top of fish with remaining tablespoon soft butter. Fold the sides of foil to the center and press against fish. Twist both ends of foil to make a tight package. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove pan from oven and let fish rest 5 to 10 minutes, still in the foil package, while you make the sauce.
- Put crème fraîche in a wide saucepan or skillet over medium high heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for a minute or so, until slightly reduced. Add cooked spinach, stirring to coat. Season with salt and pepper and turn heat to low. Quickly stir in 1 tablespoon chilled butter at a time. Each spoonful should be just melted before adding the next, to make a creamy sauce. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon zest, tarragon and chives.
- Transfer fish to a warm serving platter. Carefully remove foil. (Fish should be cooked through but moist.) Peel away and discard skin from top of fish. Pour any collected pan juices into the sauce, then spoon sauce over fish. Serve with boiled new potatoes if desired.

GRILLED ARCTIC CHAR WITH HORSERADISH CREMA
This recipe, from the chef Nick Anderer of Marta in Manhattan, pairs simply seasoned arctic char fillets (feel free to use salmon instead) with a bright, delicious crema with lemon and spicy horseradish. Make sure your grill grates are both clean and very hot before you put down the fish; that will help keep your fish from sticking. You'll also want a large grill spatula for flipping (not tongs) to get under the fish and help you carefully flip the fillets and keep them intact.

Steps:
- Make the horseradish crema: Peel horseradish with a vegetable peeler and coarsely grate. Combine grated horseradish with sour cream, Dijon, chives and dill in a medium bowl and mix well. Season crema with lemon juice and salt to taste. (Crema can be made in advance; chill until you are ready to serve.)
- Heat grill to medium-high heat if you are using gas; if you have a charcoal grill, you want a nice hot bed of coals.
- Coat fish well with olive oil and season with salt. Set fish on the grill skin side down and cook, covered, until the flesh of the fish begins to turn opaque and the skin is crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a grill spatula to carefully flip the fish and finish cooking to medium, about 2 minutes more.
- Spread horseradish crema on a serving platter or individual plates and place cooked fish on top with the skin side up. Garnish with dill and lemon wedges. Serve extra crema on the side.

Steps:
- Place golden beets in a medium saucepan, and baby beets in a small saucepan; add water to cover beets by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until beets are tender, 40 to 45 minutes for golden beets and 15 to 20 minutes for baby beets. Drain beets, and let stand until cool enough to handle.
- Peel beets. Cut the golden beets crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and cut baby beets in half lengthwise. Arrange beets on a serving platter.
- Whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, and oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the mint. Drizzle beets with the citrus-mint dressing, and garnish with mint sprigs.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Fresh, vibrant ingredients will make all the difference in this dish. Look for bright red beets, plump arctic char, and citrus fruits with no blemishes.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even slices of fish and beets. If your knife is dull, it will tear the food and make it difficult to get a nice presentation.
- Be careful not to overcook the fish: Arctic char is a delicate fish that can easily overcook. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Let the fish cool completely before slicing it: This will help prevent the fish from falling apart. You can chill the fish in the refrigerator or freezer for about 15 minutes before slicing.
- Use a variety of citrus fruits: The citrus fruits in this dish add a bright, refreshing flavor. You can use a combination of oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, and parsley, will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Arctic char carpaccio with beets and citrus is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer appetizer or light lunch. The bright flavors of the citrus and beets complement the delicate flavor of the fish, and the fresh herbs add a touch of elegance. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is easy to make at home.
