Ingredients
- Deselect All
- 12 ounces marinated artichoke quarters (about 1 1/3 cups), drained and chopped, plus 1 tablespoon marinade
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 medium shallot, sliced into rings
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 6-ounce skin-on arctic char fillets
- 3/4 cup bulgur
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Toss the artichokes and marinade, zucchini, lemon wedges, garlic, shallot, thyme, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake until the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat the fish dry with a paper towel and brush with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir the mixture. Stir in the bulgur and 1 1/4 cups water. Nestle the fish fillets skin-side down in the vegetables and bulgur. Return to the oven and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the bulgur is tender, about 12 minutes.
- Transfer the fish to plates. Season the bulgur mixture with salt and pepper, if needed. Add to the plates. Top with the chives.
