Servings: persons

3 bosc pears, unpeeled (cut into eighths)
4 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
8 shallots, sliced
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
2 teaspoons fresh chives, minced
2 -3 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons curry powder
2 lbs arctic char or 2 lbs salmon
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons walnuts, toasted chopped (optional)

1
Toss the pears with the orange juice in a large nonreactive bowl and set aside. Heat the oil and saute the shallots over medium-low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until softened and slightly carmelized. Drain the pear slices and gently toss with the Grand Marnier, chives, ginger, and salt and pepper to taste. Fan out attractively on a serving platter, and top with the shallots.
2
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F.
3
Combine the panko with the curry powder. Dip the arctic char into the flour, shake to remove any excess, and place the fillets into a baking dish. Pat the panko onto their surfaces, and drizzle with the melted butter. Pour 2 Tablespoons of water around the fillets. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the char is cooked through and the bread crumbs are browned.
4
Arrange the char over the pears, so that the pear design is visible. Sprinkle with the walnuts, if desired.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
