Ingredients
-
4 (1 1/2-inch thick) skin-on arctic char fillets
-
1/4 cup (120 milliliters) Dijon mustard
-
1/4 cup (120 milliliters) honey
-
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
-
1 teaspoon sea salt
-
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
-
2 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Steps to Make It
-
Gather ingredients.
-
Rinse fish off in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place into a deep glass baking dish.
-
Combine mustard, honey, oil, garlic, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
-
Using a spoon, coat fillets with mixture. Cover dish with plastic wrap and place into refrigerator for 30 to 40 minutes.
-
Preheat grill for medium-high heat. Right before placing the fish onto the grill, oil grill grates. This can be done by using a large pair of tongs, folded paper towels, and a high smoke point oil like grapeseed or avocado oils.
-
Place fish onto grill, skin side down, and cook for 5 minutes. Discard any extra marinade. Carefully, turn fish and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. It is sometimes easier to use 2 heat-resistant spatulas to turn the fish. One to get underneath and the other to assist with turning.
-
When the flesh of the fish no longer appears shiny, flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145 F, it is done. Carefully remove from grill, plate and serve.
