Oven Baked Mahi Mahi With Orange and Graham Cracker Crust

trinishadobeni's Note:

I was having a Thank you dinner/get-together at a friend’s house and was doing 3 courses. I bought the mahi because I thought it would have been interesting to serve, but I had no idea what to do with it! So I took an orange on impulse and some graham crackers and literally tasted what I wanted to do in my mind and out came this lovely seafood dish that was a hit! Served with some tomato and mango salsa or some sauteed vegetables, this will play on your tastebuds. Any Kind of steak-like fish will do (swordfish, salmon) Try 1- 1 1/2 inch fish steaks

Good flavor, but the soggy mush that is the graham cracker crust was very visually unappealing and ruined it for me. Unfortunately, we won't be making it again because of this.
