Prep
- Make raisin vinaigrette - Chop raisins and whisk together with balsamic vinegar, rice vinegar, Dijon and cooking oil. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Arctic char - Divide into 4 oz. portions. Rinse and pat dry. Pour raisin vinaigrette portion for fish into a baking dish. Place fish presentation side down (non-skin side = presentation side) in the vinaigrette.
- Chard / Garlic - Prep as directed.
- Pureed cauliflower - This makes enough for Wednesday’s dinner. Chop cauliflower and place into a microwave-safe bowl with water and garlic cloves, and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 3 to 3 ½ minutes, until tender. Place cooked cauliflower in a food processor with butter and puree until it reaches a smooth consistency. Add more liquid or butter as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Save half for Wednesday. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)
