I used a brown and wild rice mixture to pair with this dish and it was a great choice.  Another good choice would be some farro with some toasted pine nuts, or a short cut rigatoni, and last but not least a cavatappi.  Add a salad and you are good to go.  Previously made here:   Balsamic Halibut with Tomatoes and Capers
