I like to make this for company since you can get it ready ahead of time up until the final baking step. It looks both pretty and impressive, and the orange flavor is more subtle than you'd expect. This recipe originally came from Spice Islands, but I adapted it since I didn't have the spice blend they called for. This is a healthy and elegant meal (not to mention delicious) when served with a leafy salad, brown rice, and asparagus.
