Brown Sugar Dijon Arctic Char
This brown sugar Dijon Arctic char recipe is very simple, and the bright glaze is quick to make! Just pop it into the oven for flavorful, flaky fish in under half an hour.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 (6 ounce) pieces arctic char see note
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley to taste, optional but recommended
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F and move the rack to the top third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up, and spray it with a little cooking spray. Pat the fish dry with paper towels and place it skin-side down.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, brown sugar, lemon juice, garlic powder, and some salt & pepper.
- Spread the mustard mixture evenly over the top of the fish.
- Bake, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork (definitely check at the 10 min mark if your fish is 1/2" thick or so!).
- Sprinkle with the fresh parsley, season with extra salt & pepper if needed. The skin doesn't crisp up in this particular recipe, so I simply slide if off when serving.
Notes
- The Arctic char that I buy is sold in individual portions. They are 6 oz. each. You can buy one larger piece (about 1.5-2 lbs.) and cut it up after cooking if you prefer.
