Canada is now home to two artisan sake makers (one on Granville Island in Vancouver and one in the distillery district in Toronto). With the influence of Japanese cuisine on a Canadian dish, this recipe is the perfect opportunity to sip some sake with your dinner guests while the halibut cooks to moist, flaky perfection. Savour the aroma of lemon and ginger rising in the air. You’re just moments away from experiencing the Asian-inspired flavours mingling on the grill. Recipe and photo from
