Ingredients:

  • 4 fillets of Greenland Arctic Char (about 6-8 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Smoking wood chips (such as apple or cherry), soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions:

1- Prepare the grill for indirect grilling over medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C). If using a smoker, preheat according to manufacturer's instructions.

2- In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, honey, chopped dill, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined to make the glaze.

3- Pat the Greenland Arctic Char fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4- Brush the mustard glaze generously over the flesh side of each fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.

5- Once the grill or smoker is ready, place the soaked wood chips directly over the heat source for grilling, or in the smoker box for smoking.

6- Carefully place the Arctic Char fillets, skin-side down, on the grill grate or in the smoker, making sure they are not directly over the heat source.

7- Close the grill lid or smoker and cook the fish for about 20-25 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If grilling, you may need to rotate the fillets halfway through cooking for even smoking.

6- Once done, carefully remove the smoked Arctic Char from the grill or smoker and transfer them to a serving platter.

7- Serve the smoked Greenland Arctic Char hot, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired. Enjoy the delicate smoky flavor and succulent texture of this cold-water delicacy!

Note: You can also serve this smoked Arctic Char with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and wholesome meal.
