Jerk Fish

This recipe is from my favorite publication, Oxygen Magazine. This is a very simple, clean dish that has beautiful flavors! (personal notes: I didn't chop any of the ingredients prior to putting them in the blender and it worked perfectly. Also, I don't have natural maple syrup so I subbed corn syrup.)
