In 5 minutes, these arctic char fillets are cooked through, emerging with caramelized edges and skin glistening, ready to receive a citrus bath. Lots of crusty bread is a must, and a simple green salad is nice, too.

step 1
Position a rack 3 inches from the broiler. Preheat the broiler to high.
step 2
Slice off the ends of each Oranges (4) and the Lemon (1). Squeeze the juice out of those ends into a medium bowl. Discard the rind. Stand each piece of fruit on one of its cut sides. Run a knife down the side of each orange and the lemon to remove the skin.

step 3
Squeeze the juice out of those skins into the bowl, then discard. Remove each citrus segment by running a knife down the side of each membrane and slicing the segment out. Drop it into the bowl of juice.

step 4
Once all of the segments are removed, squeeze the remaining membranes into the bowl to extract the juice.
step 5
Pour 1 tablespoon of the juice from the bowl of citrus segments into a large bowl. Add Honey (1 Tbsp) and 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil (3 Tbsp). Whisk to combine.
step 6
Add Arctic Char Fillets (4) and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 5 minutes.
step 7
Meanwhile, pour the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into the bowl with the citrus segments. Add the Fresh Chives (2 Tbsp) and Sea Salt Flakes (1 pinch). Stir to combine. Taste. It should taste similar to a salad dressing with perhaps less of a bite.
