  • 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 yellow summer squash
  • 1/2 c. red and green Cerignola olives
  • 1 large ripe beefsteak tomato
  • 4 sprig fresh tarragon

Instructions

  1. Season Arctic char fillets with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering; add fillets, skin side down. Cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes.
