Citrus Baked Arctic Char With Asparagus Done In One Pan 30 Minutes Food

OH MY ARCTIC CHAR!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Season arctic char with salt, place in prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with lime zest.
• Combine lime juice, olive oil, sherry, rosemary, and garlic in a food processor; pulse until garlic is finely chopped. Spread mixture over fish and season with black pepper and cayenne pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes, basting with pan juices about halfway through. When the fish is close to being cooked, switch the oven to broil for remaining two minutes or until browned.

CITRUS ARCTIC CHAR WITH FARRO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚. Cook the farro as the label directs; set aside. Meanwhile, working with 1 orange at a time, cut off the peel and white pith with a paring knife. Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes, letting the citrus and juices fall into the bowl.
• Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with olive oil. Add the fennel slices, leaving 4 empty spots for the fish fillets. Add the fish curved-side up to the pan; season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the thyme.
• Heat the olive oil and garlic in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the garlic sizzles and begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully pour the garlic and oil into the bowl with the citrus and stir well to combine; season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the citrus oil over the fish and fennel. Bake until the fish flakes when poked with a knife at the thickest part, 10 to 14 minutes. Divide the farro among plates and top with the fish, fennel and citrus mixture. Top with fennel fronds.

ARCTIC CHAR WITH SPINACH BUTTER

Steps:

• Put spinach in a mixing bowl and pour boiling water over to wilt it. Drain in a colander, rinse with cool water and squeeze completely dry. Chop the spinach as finely as you can and set aside.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse fish and pat dry. Season fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Put a few tarragon springs in the belly cavity.
• Line a roasting pan with a big piece of foil slightly longer than the fish, leaving ends hanging over. Smear middle section of foil lengthwise with 1 tablespoon soft butter and set fish on top. Smear top of fish with remaining tablespoon soft butter. Fold the sides of foil to the center and press against fish. Twist both ends of foil to make a tight package. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove pan from oven and let fish rest 5 to 10 minutes, still in the foil package, while you make the sauce.
• Put crème fraîche in a wide saucepan or skillet over medium high heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for a minute or so, until slightly reduced. Add cooked spinach, stirring to coat. Season with salt and pepper and turn heat to low. Quickly stir in 1 tablespoon chilled butter at a time. Each spoonful should be just melted before adding the next, to make a creamy sauce. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon zest, tarragon and chives.
• Transfer fish to a warm serving platter. Carefully remove foil. (Fish should be cooked through but moist.) Peel away and discard skin from top of fish. Pour any collected pan juices into the sauce, then spoon sauce over fish. Serve with boiled new potatoes if desired.

• Remove fish from pan and place on top of warmed wild rice. Add sauce around and over fish. Garnish with chopped rosemary and orange segments.

CHARRED ASPARAGUS WITH CITRUS BAGNA CAUDA

Steps:

• Place a rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Scatter almonds across a rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing once, until darkened a little and fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
• Cook anchovies, garlic, oregano, lemon zest, orange zest, butter, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a small saucepan over low heat, swirling occasionally, until garlic is golden, 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in orange and lemon juices and season with salt and pepper. Let bagna cauda sit while you prepare the asparagus.
• Heat broiler. Toss asparagus with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet to coat; season with salt and pepper. Broil until deeply browned in spots and crisp-tender, 5-8 minutes.
• Toss asparagus and bagna cauda together on a platter; top with almonds.

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.
