I love Arctic Char! It is slightly milder in taste than wild salmon and
is reminiscent of trout. It is just delightful! Nutritionally, it is
superb: it’s a great source of protein and is rich in omega-3 healthy
fatty acids. It is also a sustainable fish and is therefore a
responsible choice for our planet! This is such a simple recipe that
involves broiling the fish with a little drizzle of fresh lemon juice
and olive oil, that’s it! The sliced grilled pear (see recipe here)
is a nice addition to make this a perfect elegant dish over mixed
greens and walnuts. What a perfect summer dish all in one plate…and you
know how much I love that!
