Pan-Seared Arctic Char with Coconut Beurre Blanc

by Chef Moira Hill

As part of our ongoing partnership with Butter of Europe, we invited Chef Moira Hill into the Chef’s Roll Test Kitchen to create a recipe highlighting rich, flavorful French butter.  She created a pan-seared and butter basted arctic char with a coconut crust paired with a rich and creamy buerre blanc using Butter of Europe and coconut milk. 

If you try recreating this on your own, post a picture and tag @chefsroll and @butterofeurope! We can’t wait to see how it turns out for you.
