Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 Arctic char fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon juiced and zested
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Oven-safe baking dish or skillet
  • Fish spatula
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  3. Place the Arctic char fillets in the baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the lemon zest evenly over the fillets.
  5. Bake the fish for 20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  6. While the fish bakes, prepare a side dish such as roasted vegetables or a light salad.
  7. Remove the fish from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme or parsley. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve the Arctic char with your chosen side dish and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Let the fish marinate for up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor and let it rest briefly before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
