Blackened Arctic Char Recipe
4 servings
2 lb Arctic Char
6 tb Butter
2 Lemons, Cut Into Wedges
1 tb Cajun Spice
Fillet the Char (fresh or thawed) about 25 mm thick (1-1/2″). Don’t be
afraid to substitute trout, perch, shrimp, or any firm-fleshed
seafood or fish for the char. Melt butter in a cast-iron or
heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium high heat. Add Cajun spice and
heat thoroughly. Place fillets in pan. Squeeze juice of one lemon
into pan. Cook fish for about 5 minutes on each side. Serve with
remaining lemon wedges and pan drippings. From; The Calgary Herald
