ARCTIC CHAR WITH BLISTERED CHERRY TOMATOES Farmed char is widely available and has a mild flavor and a great texture. It’s similar to salmon but not quite as rich and fatty. Wild arctic char from the northern seas is available only for a few weeks in late summer, when the ice has melted enough for the local fishermen to reach them. It is a sought-after delicacy, and one that will cost you. If you find fresh, it’s well worth the splurge.
ACAPULCO MARGARITA GROUPER Sea bass or any firm-fleshed fish may be used if grouper is not available. The grilled fish and fresh salsa are terrific when served with grilled corn and margaritas.
ALMOND-CRUSTED HALIBUT CRYSTAL SYMPHONY When you’re done this halibut dish melts in your mouth! The credit goes to my future mother-in-law! If you can find creme fraiche you may substitute it for the heavy cream. Each filet should be between 3/4 and 1 inch thick.
