Try Arctic Char for Dinner

 

I was at the grocery store today to pick up some salmon and the lady at the fish counter suggested I try Arctic Char.  She said it was a cross between salmon and trout but had a milder flavor.  I thought “why not try something new”.  So glad I did.  This fish is the most delicious I have ever had.  While it is very similar to salmon, it is much more moist.  I used the same marinade as for the salmon and grilled it for about 7 minutes.  The result was delicious.  (By the way, this is my “go-to” marinade for fish, chicken, shrimp, etc.  It is super easy and results in delicious flavor).  Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo of the Arctic Char I served, my family inhaled it and I was lucky to get a little taste.  Hopefully I will have the opportunity to serve it again soon.  I will get the photo then!
