Equipment

  • Chef's Knife - A versatile knife ideal for chopping broccolini and other vegetables with precision.

  • Cutting Board - Essential for safely cutting ingredients like arctic char, broccolini, and olives.

  • Cast Iron Skillet - Ideal for searing the arctic char to perfection due to its heat retention properties.

  • Garlic Press - Makes garlic easy to incorporate without leaving residue in your cooking utensils.

  • Mandoline Slicer (optional) - For evenly slicing broccolini and olives if desired, but not strictly necessary.

  • Measuring Spoons - Ensure precise measurements for any spices or seasonings used in the dish.

  • Cutting Board Mat - Protects your countertop from potential cuts while using a sharp knife on various ingredients.

  • Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls - Great for mixing dressings or marinades that might complement the dish.

  • Spatula (non-stick type) - Useful when flipping arctic char in a non-stick skillet to avoid damaging the surface.

  • Cooking Paper / Aluminum Foil - Can be used for serving or cleanup, especially if you're using high heat techniques and need to keep surfaces clean.

  • 1 6- to 7-ounce bunch broccolini

  • 2 large garlic cloves, chopped

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Add fish to skillet, skin side down, and cook until skin is crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn fish over and cook just until fish is opaque in center, about 2 1/2 minutes longer. Transfer to plates. Return broccolini mixture to same skillet to rewarm; stir in 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture over fish. Drizzle fish lightly with oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar (or more if desired). Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon slivered orange peel and serve.
