I like this dish a lot and will definitely make it again but next time I'll skip the cornstarch step since I didn't have that much liquid in the pan so it clumped up a bit, but that could have been my mistake. Thank you.

Countrylady, I really enjoyed this recipe. I was working with frozen Mahi Mahi fillets from Costco but they didn't taste like frozen using this method of cooking. However, I did not cook them as long, 10 minutes at the most. Then I kept them warm while I finished the sauce, then served them along side garlic mashed potatoes and peas. The sauce did really nice things to the mashed potatoes. Anyway, next time I'll make it with fresh whatever and see if I can spot the difference. Thanks for a keeper!
