Arctic Char BLT
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
8 slices bacon
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
1 tsp grated orange zest
1 tbsp orange juice
1/2 tsp each Dijon mustard and garlic paste
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
8 (1-inch-thick) slices brioche or challah bread, lightly toasted
4 (5-oz) skinless Arctic char fillets, 3/4 inch thick
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp each kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 small Boston lettuce leaves
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
1. Heat a stovetop cast iron grill over medium heat.
2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. While bacon cooks, in a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, orange zest and juice, mustard, garlic paste, and pepper. Spread half of the mayonnaise mixture over one side of bread slices. If you don't like mayo, leave it out.
3. Brush both sides of Arctic char fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill fillets 4 minutes on first side; carefully turn and grill second side until just opaque but still moist in the center, about 3 to 4 minutes longer.
4. Place lettuce on 4 of the bread slices, followed by tomato slices and crisp bacon strips. Top with grilled fillets. Spread tops of fish with remaining mayonnaise mixture, then place remaining bread slices on top, mayo side down.
