Ingredients

•2 (6 oz) skin-on Arctic Charr fillets

•1 small head of romanesco, broken into bite-sized florets

•1/2 cup tricolor quinoa, rinsed

•1 cup low-sodium vegetable stock

•2 tablespoons fresh yuzu juice (or lime juice substitute)

•1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated

•3 tablespoons high-quality extra virgin olive oil, divided

•1 small shallot, finely minced

•1/4 cup radish microgreens for garnish

•Maldon sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions

01
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss romanesco florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-18 minutes until tender and edges are golden brown.
02
In a small saucepan, bring the quinoa and vegetable stock to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, let stand for 5 minutes, and fluff with a fork.
03
Prepare the emulsion: In a small bowl, whisk together the yuzu juice, minced shallot, and grated ginger. Slowly stream in 1 tablespoon of olive oil while whisking vigorously until slightly thickened. Season with a pinch of salt.
04
Pat the Arctic Charr fillets extremely dry with paper towels. Season the skin side generously with salt.
05
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the fish skin-side down, pressing gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to ensure even contact.
06
Cook undisturbed for 4 minutes until the skin is glass-like and crispy. Carefully flip the fish and cook for only 60 seconds more to maintain a succulent medium-rare center.
07
To plate, create a base of toasted quinoa, arrange the roasted romanesco on top, and nestle the Arctic Charr over the vegetables. Drizzle the yuzu-ginger emulsion over the fish and garnish with microgreens.

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
