  • 1 clove garlic pressed
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • Make the horseradish cream: Combine horseradish with sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, garlic, chives, and dill in a medium bowl and mix well. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne (if using) to taste. The sauce can be made in advance; chill until you are ready to serve.
  • Heat oil in large skillet. When hot, place char portions skin down in pan and cook for about 5 minutes. Use spatula to press fish down so skin crisps evenly. Flip and cook other side about 3-4 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Serve immediately with horseradish sauce.
