This arctic char recipe has perfectly balanced flavors. I'm a huge fish fan and always looking for new ways to make fish. I couldn't find any recipe that sounded tasty on the net for arctic char, so I decided to try my cooking talent and come up with my own recipe. My husband and I couldn't believe how delicious this turned out. He wasn't hungry that night and ate most of the fish, haha! This recipe will not disappoint.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes, basting with pan juices about halfway through. When fish is close to being fully cooked, switch the oven to broil. Cook until the top is browned, about 2 minutes.
