Arctic Char with Pistachio Orange Vinaigrette

This elegant arctic char with pistachio orange vinaigrette is a vibrant way to enjoy sustainably sourced fish. The delicate, pink flesh of the char, which sits somewhere between salmon and trout in flavour, pairs beautifully with the bright acidity of navel orange and lemon. Using pistachio oil in the dressing adds a subtle, toasted depth that complements the naturally rich oils found in the fish.

As a heart-healthy main course, this dish is packed with omega-3 fatty acids and heart-friendly unsaturated fats from the nuts. It is remarkably quick to prepare, making it a sophisticated option for a busy weeknight or a light weekend lunch. Serve it alongside steamed seasonal greens or a crisp fennel salad to complete this nutritious, flavour-forward meal.
