Steps:
- Preheat the broiler and set a rack 2 inches from the heat.
- Toss the beans with the oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Broil the beans until crisp tender and charred in places, about 4 minutes.
- Stir together the cilantro stems and mayonnaise. Sprinkle each fillet with a generous pinch each of salt and pepper, and then divide the cilantro mixture among the fillets, spreading to cover. Place the fillets over the beans and continue to broil until the fish is just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Garnish with the chopped cilantro before serving.
RED CHILE RUBBED GRILLED ARCTIC CHAR
Steps:
- Preheat the fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Whisk together the brown sugar, ancho chili powder, cinnamon, cumin, salt and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Preheat the grill, a grill pan or a nonstick saute pan over high heat. Brush both sides of the char with the oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Rub one side of each fillet with some of the spice rub. Cook the char rub-side down until golden brown and a crust has formed, about 3 minutes, and then flip and continue cooking to medium doneness, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
- Slice the skin into 1/4-inch strips, and then dredge in the rice flour. Fry until crispy, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined sheet tray and immediately sprinkle with salt.
- Plate the fish rub-side up, topped with the crispy skin. Serve some of the Salsa Vera Cruz alongside, and garnish with cilantro leaves and pumpkin seeds.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Combine the tomatoes, olives, capers, oregano, thyme, garlic, jalapenos and red onions in a medium bowl. Add the canola oil to the pan, and cook the mixture 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let sit 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature. Finish with the olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
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.

GRILLED CHILE-LIME ARCTIC CHAR
Steps:
- Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt using a large heavy knife.
- Stir together garlic paste, lime juice, oil, sugar, and chipotle chile in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
- Remove any bones from fish with tweezers, then pat fish dry and place, skin side down, on a plastic-wrap-lined large tray.
- Rub chile mixture all over flesh side of fish, then wrap plastic around fish and marinate at cool room temperature 15 minutes.
- While fish is marinating, prepare grill for cooking over indirect heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderately high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure
- To cook fish using a charcoal grill: Lightly oil grill rack, then put fish, skin side down, on grill rack with no coals underneath and grill, covered with lid, 4 minutes. Using 2 metal spatulas, loosen fish from grill rack and turn fish over, rotating 180 degrees. Grill fish, covered with lid, until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more, then loosen from grill rack with spatulas and transfer to a clean platter. If desired, lift skin from fish with tongs and cook skin on rack directly over coals, turning over occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes, then serve over fish.
- To cook fish using a gas grill: Lightly oil grill rack, then put fish, skin side down, on rack above shut-off burner and grill, covered with lid, 4 minutes. Using 2 metal spatulas, loosen skin from grill rack and turn fish over. Grill fish, covered with lid, until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more, then loosen from grill rack with spatulas and transfer to a clean platter.
- If desired, lift skin from fish with tongs and cook skin directly over a burner, uncovered, turning over occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes, then serve over fish.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest Arctic char you can find. Look for fish that is firm and has a bright, silvery color. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong odor.
- Use a sharp knife to score the skin of the Arctic char. This will help the marinade penetrate the fish and result in a more flavorful dish.
- Don't overcook the Arctic char. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center. Overcooked Arctic char will be dry and tough.
- Serve the Arctic char on a bed of greens. This will add a fresh, flavorful component to the dish.
- Pair the Arctic char with a light, refreshing sauce. A lemon-butter sauce or a white wine sauce are both good options.
