Roasted Arctic Char with Orange-Lentil Salad
Eco-friendly, low-mercury arctic char is less fishy than its more popular cousin, salmon. Serves 4
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tsp finely grated orange zest
- 5 tsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, divided
- 1 package (17 oz) steamed lentils (or 3 cups canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1/4 cup chopped mint
- 2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
- 4 arctic char fillets (5 oz each), skin removed
- Orange slices and mint sprigs for garnish
Heat oven to 400°. In a bowl, whisk orange juice and zest, 4 tsp oil, vinegar, 1/2 tsp salt, mustard and 1/4 tsp pepper. Gently stir in lentils, chopped mint and onion. Arrange fillets on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with remaining 1 tsp oil; season with remaining 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Roast until fish is opaque and just cooked through, 10 minutes. Spoon lentil salad onto plates; top with fish. Garnish with orange slices and mint sprigs.
