Enjoying the last few weeks of summer, so I decided to make a new recipe with seared Artic Char with a tangy and nutty romesco sauce. This is not your typical weeknight dinner, but I promise you will be one of your favorite to add to your meal plan.


Have you tried Artic char before?


Artic char is a cold water fish, from the Salmonidae family, native to the alpine lake water or Artic coastal waters. The fillets look very similar to salmon, but has a softer texture, very buttery and mild flavor. Packed with healthy fats and omegas-3's.


Once I tried this fish, it became a favorite at home.

I typically like to seared in a cast iron pan to get that great crunchy skin, just simply seasoned with salt and pepper.


For this recipe I made a romesco sauce, inspired by Mozza Cookbook. This is the perfect topping for this dish. It is creamy, nutty and the right tanginess to add a layer of flavor to this fish. It is the perfect topping!


In order to keep it simple I tweak the recipe a little. I used a jar of roasted red peppers instead of fresh roast one, and used only almonds since I didn't have hazelnuts. I guarantee it was still delicious!


So let's get cooking with @dishplay_it


Look at this delicious, nutty and creamy romesco sauce. You may add to your favorite fish or chicken. Simply flavorful.


This is the Artic Char, seared to perfection, topped off with a creamy and nutty romesco sauce. Enjoy!
