Arctic char is a member of both the trout and salmon families, but physically looks more like a salmon. Salmon can be used in this recipe as well with the same delicious results. Arctic char is a coldwater fish with a delicate and mild flavor. This fish dish has become one of my new favorite recipes and cooking techniques. It’s super flavorful and moist and has that rustic, stunning appearance. Make sure to start it a few hours ahead of time because it needs time to marinate.
