Quick and easy, this arctic char recipe is a simple preparation with just four ingredients. Combine soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and honey and brush on the fish. Sear the fish skin-side up; then pour the remaining sauce over the fish, turn, and finish cooking. This recipe makes one serving, but it's easy to scale up to feed four or more.

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Season the fish with salt and pepper and brush with half of the sauce.

  2. Heat a small cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear the fish skin side up for 4 minutes. Pour the remaining sauce over the fish and swirl the sauce around the pan. Carefully turn the fish, spoon the sauce over the top, and cook for 3 more minutes, until the fish is just cooked through. Serve immediately.
