Arctic Char Tartare

Ingredients

Arctic char

8 oz, skinless and boneless

Baguette

1, sliced into thin rounds

Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon

Capers

1 tablespoon, rinsed and chopped

Chives

2 tablespoons, finely chopped

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Lemon juice

1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed

Salt

to taste

Pepper

to taste

Instructions

1. Begin by ensuring your Arctic char is as fresh as possible. Cut the fish into small dice (about 1/4-inch pieces) and place them in a mixing bowl.
2. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, chopped capers, and finely chopped chives to the bowl with the diced Arctic char.
3. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to mush the fish.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the fish to chill.
5. While the tartare is chilling, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush them lightly with olive oil.
6. Toast the baguette slices in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
7. Once the tartare is ready, remove it from the refrigerator. Serve the Arctic char tartare on the toasted baguette slices. Garnish with additional chives if desired.
