oven roasted Arctic char
Another one of my go to fish recipe is roasted (of course) Arctic char. I make it at least 2 times a month!
This recipe came from the cookbook of our beloved elementary school. A bunch of parents at our local elementary school was super enthusiastic about wellness in cooking and decided to put together a cookbook based on recipes from the school community. We put in countless hours towards this cookbook with the goal of raising awareness to wellness and money for the school.
My favorite fish recipe from the cookbook was called ‘grandpa’s salmon’. I love this recipe because it fits all my requirements for a fish recipe - it is roasted not pan seared, which means no smell, no grease & splatter. And it’s delicious, yet simple.
I made the dish a few times with Arctic char which is really similar to salmon when I wanted a change of pace. Overtime I decided that I really like char eith this recipe because it’s fattier and more moist.
If you like easy, oven roasted, no fuss fish recipes, try this one. It’s savory, sweet and fragrant at the same time.
