This dish was extremely easy to prepare, I used Thai purple rice instead of wild rice and it went well with the sweetness of the dish. Fresh-squeezed orange juice in the sauce, a side of steamed asparagus and the dinner was complete. Arctic Char is quite pricey but this elegant preparation is a dish I'd gladly serve to company for a special dinner.
