Seared Arctic Char with Broccolini, Olives and Garlic


Here is a recipe I found on Epicurious.com using Arctic Char, an ecofriendly fish that is just as nutritious as salmon, but doesn't taste as fishy.  This is great for children and adults who do not care for the fishy taste of salmon.
Arctic Char is a wonderful source of Omega 3 fatty acids, just like salmon. 
This type of fish can be hard to find- you may want to ask for it at your seafood counter if they do not have it.  


Serving size:  2  (double it as necessary if you are feeding a family of 3 or 4)

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus additional for drizzling
  • 1 6- to 7-ounce bunch broccolini
  • 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/3 cup halved pitted Kalamata olives
  • 3 teaspoons finely slivered organic orange peel (orange part only; removed with zester), divided
  • 2 7- to 8-ounce arctic char fillets with skin (each about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons (or more) white balsamic vinegar, divided

preparation:
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccolini and stir 1 minute. Pour 1/2 cup water over, cover, and cook just until broccolini is crisp-tender and water evaporates, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Stir in olives and 2 teaspoons orange peel. Transfer mixture to bowl; set aside (do not clean skillet).Heat 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Add fish to skillet, skin side down, and cook until skin is crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn fish over and cook just until fish is opaque in center, about 2 1/2 minutes longer. Transfer to plates. Return broccolini mixture to same skillet to rewarm; stir in 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture over fish. Drizzle fish lightly with oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar (or more if desired). Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon slivered orange peel and serve.

This recipe sounds delicious. I do not think I have ever heard of Arctic Char but I definitely want to try it. The recipe happens to fit in with my need to stay gluten free too which is even better!

Glad you like the recipe. Just call your local grocery store, ask for the seafood dept. They can tell you when they will be getting Arctic Char, or how often they carry it. They may even order it for you!!! I know our local grocery store Kings will sometimes carry it. Thanks so much for your comment!
