Ingredients
– 4 small oranges (mixed varieties, such as Cara Cara and tangerines)
– 1 lemon
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
– 4 arctic char fillets, each weighing 3 to 4 ounces
– 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
– Flaky sea salt (amount to taste, with a pinch suggested for the sauce)
– 1 tablespoon neutral oil
– Freshly ground black pepper (optional, amount to taste)
Instructions
1-First, position a rack about 3 inches from the broiler and preheat to high. Then, supreme the citrus fruits by removing the ends, peeling, and cutting out the segments, making sure to reserve all the juice.
2-In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of the reserved citrus juice with 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add the fish fillets, coat them well, and let them marinate for at least 5 minutes.
3-Next, in another bowl with the citrus segments, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons chives, and a pinch of flaky sea salt to whip up the sauce.
4-Lightly oil a broiler-safe pan, place the fish skin-side down after draining excess marinade, and season with flaky sea salt and optional pepper.
5-Broil for 4 to 5 minutes until itβs caramelized and cooked through, then serve the fish on a platter topped with the citrus sauce, with extra on the side.
