Have you tried artic char? It is very similar to the salmon but it is a little more fattier and has a milder taste. Therefore, it's flavor is not too fishy (like my kids will say) and the kids will love it. A favorite at our home.


One of our favorite seasonings is the cajun spices to make this perfectly seared blackened artic char fish dish. It is so tasty, a must try recipe to impress family or friend at your dinner table.


It cooks pretty quick so you can have dinner in no time. With a side of veggies, mashed potatoes, or rice... is the perfect balanced and healthy meal for all to enjoy.


Have leftovers? No problem, simply turn it into a delicious salad. In a bowl add some spring lettuce mix, cherry tomatoes, red onions add a piece of this blackened artic char and a simply lime or lemon vinaigrette.

Here is the artic char and the spices to make this blackened cajun blend.

Simply seared each side for about 3 minutes each side in a hot cast iron pan. I start searing skin first to get a crunchy skin.

I love to serve this blackened Artic char with a creamy coconut lime cauliflower mash.

Look at that amazing crunchy crust but tender inside.

A delicious diner to paired with my favorite Grenache Rose from Brick Barn Estate Wines.
