Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more
- 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced on a mandoline, divided
- 1 1/4 pounds arctic char or salmon fillet
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped preserved lemon peel
- 1/2 cup dill fronds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 °F. Bring vinegar, sugar, caraway seeds, 2 tsp. salt, and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and add garlic. Let sit until garlic is slightly softened, 10 –15 minutes.

- Meanwhile, place char in a 2- or 3-qt. baking dish and coat with 1 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until flesh easily flakes apart and a paring knife inserted into fish meets no resistance, 15 –18 minutes.
- Drain fennel mixture; discard liquid. Toss in a small bowl with lemon juice, preserved lemon, remaining 3 Tbsp. oil, and remaining fennel; season with salt and pepper. Mix in dill.
- Serve char topped with fennel salad.
