Great recipe! I let the mango salsa cook for a few minutes on the fish. It intensified the jalapenas and softened the onions.

Mahi Mahi wasn't in season so I made it with Talipia for myself and Chicken for my DH. Both dishes turned out fantastic!

[Chef Teddy Bear]

Fantastic recipe! The marinade gave the mahi mahi a nice bite to it while the mango salsa added a tasty blend of cooler flavors with just enough kick. I substituted sherry and sugar for the sake since none was available. Would definitely make again.
