Arctic char is a farm-raised, freshwater fish that has a full, rich deliciousness and tastes wonderful roasted. It beautifully complements the vegetable medley here of eggplant, red onion, zucchini, and corn. After letting the veggies soften up a little in the oven, shove 'em around the pan to make space in the center for the fish, which is flavored with orange juice, lemon zest, and dried basil. Overlap orange slices over the fish, then let everything continue to roast together in the oven, making this one-pan dish as easy as it gets. And as with all fish, to cut the fat, be sure to remove the skin before eating.
