Indulge in a culinary journey with our pan-roasted Arctic char recipe, a dish that harmonizes delicate flavors and vibrant colors. This delectable fish, known for its mild and slightly sweet taste, is expertly seared until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The star of the show is the orange and rosemary beurre blanc sauce, a rich and creamy emulsion that elevates the Arctic char to new heights. The sauce, made with shallots, white wine, and orange juice, is infused with fresh rosemary, adding a fragrant and herbaceous touch. It perfectly complements the Arctic char, creating a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
In addition to the main recipe, we also offer a collection of complementary dishes to complete your Arctic char feast. Delight in the refreshing orange and fennel salad, a vibrant combination of citrus, crunchy fennel, and peppery arugula. Experience the rustic charm of roasted fingerling potatoes, their crispy skin and fluffy interiors adding a delightful textural contrast to the delicate fish. And for a side of greens, try the sautéed Swiss chard with garlic and lemon, a simple yet flavorful dish that adds a touch of bitterness to balance the richness of the Arctic char and sauce.
WHOLE ROASTED ARCTIC CHAR WITH FENNEL AND PISTOU
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Rinse the fish well inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Lay the big-boy out on a large rimmed sheet pan; cut 4 gashes crosswise on both sides of the fish, slicing all the way down to the bone. Season the arctic char with a generous amount of salt and pepper, inside the cavity and all over the skin. Stuff the mixed herbs and fennel inside the body of the fish. Tuck a lemon slice and bay leaf inside each of the slats. Rub a decent amount of olive oil on all parts of the fish. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the fish itself is flaky. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fennel fronds. Serve with Pistou sauce.
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until the garlic is finely chopped. Serve at room temperature with grilled or roasted fish.

ROASTED ARCTIC CHAR WITH LEEKS AND HORSERADISH CREAM
Steps:
- 1. To prepare the fish: Halve the leeks lengthwise, then slice crosswise and transfer to a large bowl of water. Swish leeks to release any grit; lift from the water. Drain.
- 2. Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add leeks and thyme, and cook, stirring, until wilted and liquid reduces, 6 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste. Add cider, bring to a boil, and cook until almost dry, 4 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, boil until thick and it coats the leeks. Add brandy, cook down slightly. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
- 3. Open fish and season well with salt and pepper. Spread leek mixture along flesh and close fish. Tie closed with kitchen twine (or cooked leek greens) at 4-inch intervals. Brush oil all over skin, season with salt and pepper.
- 4. Preheat the broiler to high (with convection broiler if you have it). Line a pan with foil and lightly brush with oil. Place the prepared pan in broiler and heat for 5-10 minutes.
- Carefully lay the fish on the preheated pan. Broil fish until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 130 to 135 degrees F, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and rest fish for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- 5. Stir all sauce ingredients together. Transfer fish to a serving platter, remove strings. Serve with sauce on the side.

OH MY ARCTIC CHAR!
I'm a huge fish fan and I'm always looking for new ways to make fish. I couldn't find any recipe that sounded tasty on the net for arctic char so I decided to try my cooking talent and come up with my own recipe. My husband and I couldn't believe how delicious this turned out, all of the flavors balanced perfectly. He wasn't hungry that night and ended up eating majority of the fish, haha! This recipe will not disappoint.
