This is a very attractive and tasty fish recipe. The fish was tilapia and was done in no time. There did seem to be a lot of the honey mango sauce left and I do think I might cut back a little on the honey next time around. All in all a beautiful dish to serve with a mingling of flavors. Made for the Vivacious Violets during ZWT 7.
