Found this on the back of a Full Circle frozen Mahi Mahi fillet package. If you are low on time and need a quick, easy and tasty recipe, this will make you happy. The package recommends steamed jasmine rice and warm bok choy to round out the meal.

Excellent recipe! Nice balance of flavors. The addition of balsamic added to this asian influenced base sauce create a 3 dimensional level of taste and creates a nice dark glaze giving the Mahi Mahi an attractive and unusual "wood grained" appearance. Cooking is Chemistry! Will keep this recipe around. Thanks for sharing!

Awsome! I loved the glaze--the balsamic vinegar and honey make a delicious glaze. I added an extra splash of balsamic because I love the flavor it gives. Thank you Ladyfingers Donna

While not having mahi mahi, I decided this would work well with my fish fillets - and it did! Having all the ingredients we love we found this combination came together so well making for great fish. How good - made for no left overs! Loved the thickened glaze which made for an added touch. Served with basmatti rice and enjoyed a lovely supper. Thank you Ladyfingers for another of your recipes that proved a winner at our house.
