ARCTIC CHAR WITH JULIENNE VEGETABLES
Instructions
Skin and debone the char and cut into portion-sized pieces. Marinate with sea salt, lemon pepper, olive oil and grated horseradish. Place on a plate, cover with cling foil and cook in a steamer for 15 minutes at 140 degrees F or at similar temperature in the oven. Internal core temperature should be 107 degrees F (cooking time will depend on the size of the fillets: The fish is done when albumen begins to leak out).
Sauté the julienne vegetables in butter for approx. 2 minutes without browning. Season with salt and add vinegar and stock. Simmer the vegetables for 4 minutes and immediately arrange them on the fish. Serve with boiled potatoes, chives and grated horseradish.
Tip: As with this cooking method the fish is not really hot but lukewarm when served, the vegetables and potatoes should be served really hot. When cooking the fish, make sure that the temperature is not too high as otherwise it will quickly dry out.
