Servings: persons

1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
4 (6- to 8-ounce) Arctic char fillets, 1/2 to 1 inch thick, skin on
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 bacon slices
1 1/2 cups chopped red onion
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
1 1/2 cups fully cooked, shelled frozen edamame
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Garnish: fresh thyme sprigs

1
Combine first 4 ingredients; rub evenly over char fillets. Cook fillets, seasoned side down, in hot oil in a heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat 2 minutes or until golden brown. Turn fillets over; place pan in oven, and bake at 425u00b0 for 5 to 9 minutes (depending on thickness of fillets) or until fish flakes with a fork.
2
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp; remove bacon, and drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon.
3
Saute onion, red bell pepper, and garlic in hot drippings 3 minutes or until tender. Add corn and edamame; saute 2 to 3 minutes or until hot. Remove from heat, and stir in chopped thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper. Divide succotash evenly among 4 individual plates or bowls; top with fillets, and sprinkle with crumbled bacon. Garnish, if desired.

Test Kitchen Tip: If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, transfer seared fillets, skin side down, to an oiled baking sheet and bake as directed. Searing fish before roasting gives it a beautiful caramelized crust.

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
