About This Recipe:

Arctic char is an underrated fish that I love to order at restaurants and bake at home. It is very similar to salmon in terms of taste and looks, but I find it to have a milder flavor and less fat than salmon. Arctic char would taste great cooked as is with a squeeze of lemon on top, but I decided to make it with an Asian flare (mostly because I was craving jasmine rice.) This recipe is super easy to prepare- you just mix the marinade together and put everything into the oven in one baking dish. It’s also super healthy and quite pretty to look at!

Enjoy!
