Chef's tips
Arctic char cooks a little faster than salmon of the same thickness, so start checking at the 10-minute mark.
Ingredient substitutions
- Arctic char → salmon or steelhead trout
- fresh dill → 1.5 tsp dried dill
Storage
Refrigerate leftovers up to 2 days in a covered container.
Reheating
Warm gently covered in a low oven to avoid drying it further.
Common mistakes to avoid
