Ingredients

  1. 4 wonton wrappers
  2. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  3. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  4. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  5. 1 medium onion, chopped
  6. 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  7. 3 cups whole milk
  8. One 14-ounce can creamed corn
  9. 12 ounces skinless arctic char fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
  10. 2 cups chopped watercress

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Brush the wonton wrappers with the vegetable oil and sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cut the wanton wrappers into triangles and bake on a baking sheet until golden and crisp, about 6 minutes.
  3. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the onions and cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the flour, 3/4 teaspoons salt and a couple turns of black pepper until well incorporated. Whisk the milk into the onions and bring to a boil. Stir in the creamed corn and bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Stir in the char and watercress and let sit until the fish is just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Serve with the wonton crackers.
