Yield: 4 servings
1 each Arctic char – 1 kg(4.5 lbs)
6 tablespoon Butter
2 each Lemons, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon Cajun spice
Fillet the Char (fresh or thawed) about 25 mm thick (1-1/2 inch). 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.
