Best 4 Arctic Char With Artichokes And Zucchini Recipes

TERIYAKI ARCTIC CHAR WITH PICKLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Combine the rice, 1 3/4 cups water and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low; cover and cook until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside, covered.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Peel the carrots and turnip and shave with a vegetable peeler into thin strips. Combine the shaved vegetables with the vinegar, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Mix and massage gently with your hands to evenly coat.
• Bring the teriyaki sauce, honey and sesame oil to a simmer in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until thickened, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Arrange the fish skin-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Brush with the teriyaki mixture. Broil until glazed and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Divide the rice, pickled vegetables and fish among plates. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Top the vegetables with the seaweed snack strips.

ZUCCHINI AND ARTICHOKE FRITTERS

Steps:

• For the farmhouse dressing: Put mayo, sour cream, buttermilk and red wine vinegar in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine until smooth.
• Add the dill, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder and salt and whisk until well combined.
• For the fritters: Toss grated zucchini with pinch of salt. Place in a colander with a plate on top to push down. Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove zucchini from colander and squeeze with a dish towel to remove any excess moisture.
• Put butter and salt in a medium saucepan with 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon or sturdy whisk until mixture comes together, about 1 minute. Lower heat and cook for 1 minute more.
• Transfer dough to bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix at medium speed to cool mixture slightly. Increase speed and begin to add eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. (Let dough come back together after the addition of each egg.)
• After final egg has been added, beat until dough is smooth and glossy, about a minute more. Stop machine and add grated cheese, parsley and pepper, then mix briefly to combine. (See Cook's Note.)
• Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped artichokes. Scrape down sides of bowl and remix, then transfer mixture to a disposable pastry bag. (Mixture can also be dispensed into oil using a 1/2-ounce ice cream scoop.)
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or several inches oil in a heavy-sided pot to 350 degrees F. Cut about 1 1/2 inches off the end of the pastry bag. (The more you cut, the larger the fritters will be.) Squeeze bag and pinch off a quarter-size amount of dough, then slowly drop into the oil.
• Use a slotted spoon to move fritters around in the oil so they cook on all sides. Remove after 4 to 5 minutes. Toss with some more grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. Serve with farmhouse dressing.

ARCTIC CHAR WITH LEMON-CAPER BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine 4 tablespoons butter, the capers, parsley, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl with a rubber spatula; set aside. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread pieces, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted, about 4 minutes; transfer to a plate.
• Wipe out the skillet; add the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat. Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper and add to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook until the skin is browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 more minute; transfer to a plate.
• Meanwhile, add the haricots verts to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and season with salt and pepper. Divide among plates and sprinkle with the croutons. Add the fish and top with the lemon-caper butter; serve with lemon wedges.
