gloomybear's Note:

This is a good simple baking recipe for any fish. Good for summer cooking, This could also be grilled rather than baked.

This was okay, but next time I will change it some. This time I followed the recipe exactly, but found the lemon to be overpowering and the whole dish too tart for my taste. Next time I might double the honey or halve the lemon juice. Otheriwse, I liked the combination of flavors, the balance just wasn't right for me. Made with mahi mahi.

I just joined Weight Watchers and I was looking for a healthy and easy recipe. I bought some Mahi Mahi and found this recipe. I made it tonight and it was delicious! All of the ingredients work well together and it was very easy to follow!

This sauce was excellent and balanced the lemon pepper quite well. After tasting the sauce I ended up increasing the recipe and was glad I did since my family loved it.
