Blackened (Cajun) Arctic Char
Servings:  4
 
1 Arctic char - 1 kg (4.5 lbs)
6 T butter
2 lemons, cut into wedges
1 T Cajun spice
 
Fillet the Char (fresh or thawed) about 25 mm thick (1-1/2").
Don't be afraid to substitute trout, perch, shrimp, or any firm-fleshed
seafood or fish for the char.  Melt butter in a cast-iron or
heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium high heat.  Add Cajun spice
and heat thoroughly.  Place fillets in pan.  Squeeze juice of one
lemon into pan.  Cook fish for about 5 minutes on each side.  Serve
with remaining lemon wedges and pan drippings.
