Seared Soy-Sesame Arctic Char
Serves 1
Arctic char, a tasty fi sh with beautiful melon-colored flesh, can substitute for brook trout, Tasmanian ocean trout, or even salmon, but it’s an excellent choice of fish to eat as it is presently sustainable (see page 169).
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 6-ounce piece of Arctic char
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
- In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Season the fish with salt and pepper and brush with half of the sauce.
- Heat a small cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear the fish skin side up for 4 minutes. Pour the remaining sauce over the fish and swirl the sauce around the pan. Carefully turn the fish, spoon the sauce over the top, and cook for 3 more minutes, until the fish is just cooked through. Serve immediately.
