Roasted arctic char & lentil saladThis recipe looks so good! I love salmon, but I don’t want it to be the only fish I eat.

This eco-friendly, low-mercury artic char is less fishy-tasting than salmon. So, it’s perfect for anyone who either doesn’t like salmon or is a newbie to eating fish.

The lentil salad is packed with tangy flavor thanks to fresh orange juice, zest and a hint of mint.

I hope you enjoy!
