Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

• 2 Arctic Char fillets (about 6 oz each, skin-on)

• 1 tbsp canola oil or unsalted butter

• 1 tbsp maple syrup

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (or grainy mustard for texture)

• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

• ½ tsp sea salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• 2 tbsp chopped toasted hazelnuts

• 1 tsp fresh dill or spruce tips (a nod to Boreal flavors)

Optional Side: Roasted fingerling potatoes or sautéed fiddleheads (springtime delicacy).

Instructions

1. Preheat Skillet
   Heat your Platinum Gourmet Medium Skillet over medium-high heat until evenly warm.

2. Prepare Glaze
   In a small bowl, whisk maple syrup, mustard, and vinegar. Set aside.

3. Sear the Arctic Char
   Pat fish dry, season with salt and pepper.
   Add canola oil to the skillet, then place the fillets skin-side down. Press gently with a spatula to keep the skin flat. Cook for 4–5 minutes until the skin is crisp.

4. Flip & Glaze
   Flip fillets carefully, reduce heat to medium, and spoon the maple-mustard glaze over the flesh. Cook another 2–3 minutes, basting occasionally, until the fish flakes easily.

5. Finish with Hazelnut Crunch
   Sprinkle toasted hazelnuts and fresh dill over the fillets just before serving.
