Grilled Mahi Mahi

Peeps's Note:

Nice blend of flavors for this fish. This was a recipe I altered some from a cooking magazine. This recipe may also be broiled. Leftovers are even better the next day if you have any left.

KEEPER ALERT, KEEPER ALERT. Didn't have dark rum. Used triple sec, 1/4 pasillas pepper and orange zest and this recipe was OUTSTANDING!!! Fish-haters will change their tune.
