Ingredients:

Serving

1 (2 to 3 lb) whole arctic char , gutted and scaled , gills and fins removed, head and tail intact
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 handfuls mixed fresh herbs ( basil , thyme , tarragon)
1 small bulb fennel, sliced , fronds reserved
4 bay leaves
1 lemon , cut into 4 slices
extra-virgin olive oil , as needed
1 recipe pistou , recipe follows
2 anchovy fillets
2 garlic cloves
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 vine-ripe tomato, seeded, and chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Rinse the fish well inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Lay the big-boy out on a large rimmed sheet pan; cut 4 gashes crosswise on both sides of the fish, slicing all the way down to the bone. Season the arctic char with a generous amount of salt and pepper, inside the cavity and all over the skin. Stuff the mixed herbs and fennel inside the body of the fish. Tuck a lemon slice and bay leaf inside each of the slats. Rub a decent amount of olive oil on all parts of the fish. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the fish itself is flaky. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fennel fronds. Serve with Pistou sauce.
Pistou:
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until the garlic is finely chopped. Serve at room temperature with grilled or roasted fish.
Yield: 1 cup
