I also saw the arctic char at Whole Foods and remember seeing it on Top Chef a few seasons back. This recipe was wonderful and easy. Char has gotta be the easiest fish I've found to do a pan sear on both sides and it comes out perfectly. The sauce is delicious. I'm on a diet, so no rice, I made roasted asparagus and the sauce is excellent drizzled across the fish and asparagus, kind of like a hollandaise with a subtle orange acidity to it. (I also cut the cream and used some low fat milk the second time around, just as lovely.

This recipe was elegant and the flavors were subtle and went incredibly well together.
I love Arctic Char and I was surprised how much I liked the orange flavors with this dish.
