Ingredients
2 280-g skin-on Arctic char fillets, cut in half
1/8 tsp salt
3 tbsp hoisin sauce
1/2 cup mixed black and white sesame seeds
2 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
1 1/2 tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp sriracha hot sauce
3 3-g bundles soba noodles
1 cup frozen edamame
2 tsp canola oil
1 tsp dark sesame oil
Instructions
BOIL a medium pot of water.
SPRINKLE fillets with salt. Season with fresh pepper. Lightly coat flesh with 1 tbsp hoisin. Pour sesame seeds onto a large plate. Press fillets, flesh-side down, into seeds to cover.
WHISK remaining 2 tbsp hoisin with vinegar, ginger and sriracha in a large bowl until combined.
COOK soba and edamame in boiling water, until al dente, 4 min. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain well, then toss with hoisin mixture until well coated.
HEAT a large frying pan over medium-high. Add canola and sesame oil, then fillets, seed-side down. Cook until golden, flipping halfway through, 5 to 7 min.
