Baked Arctic Char

About this recipe

This is a great way to get more fish into your life, and it works with almost every type (e.g., salmon, steelhead trout). Pat this dressing over top or stuff into a whole fish. 

Instructions

Dressing

In a small bowl, mix together:

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs,
  • 3-4 cloves fresh garlic (minced),
  • 6-7 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley,
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil,
  • grated rind from 1 fresh lemon,
  • juice from the aforementioned lemon,
  • ½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. black pepper.

Toss ingredients with a fork until breadcrumbs are well coated (and there are no clumps).

Spray cookie sheet with Pam or use parchment paper. Place 2 lb. Arctic char, salmon, or steelhead trout on sheet. Lightly brush with olive oil, and lightly salt and pepper.

Pat fillets with dressing and bake at 400°F (even 425°F) for approx. 20 minutes. It's done when the internal temperature hits 160 and fish flakes. 

Maybe squeeze more fresh lemon over top before serving.

Notes

  • If doing a whole fish, first rub the outside with olive oil, and then stuff dressing into whole fish.

    Wondering what to do with leftover dressing? Use it for Stuffed Seppia with Wine (it's the same dressing).
