What goes with Arctic Char?
Arctic char has small, tender flakes and a skin that can become pleasantly crisp while the flesh remains supple. Richness and flesh colour vary with feed, origin and the individual fish; an orange fillet is not a direct measure of fat. This profile uses a fresh fillet as its reference, keeping cured char and smoked char as distinct preparations.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Arctic Char?
Dill, restrained mustard and cultured cream suit the soft, rich centre, while red onion supplies a separate crisp, pungent bite. Orange must be specified as juice, flesh or zest because those forms contribute different amounts of acid, sweetness and aroma. Lentil crisps or an almond infusion offer alternative textures without burying the skin beneath a heavy sauce.
