"This was the recipe I created the very first time I cooked fish. Very simple but delicious. So far this recipe has converted three non-fish eaters to eat fish! Use any flaky white fish or even chicken and serve with couscous and fresh veggies."

My roommate and I both gave this a four because we just really like salmon better than mahi mahi, but I had some mahi to use up and this is probably the best way I've found to do it. It really does almost completely mask the fishy taste of the mahi.

This was so simple to make but was really yummy. The only thing I did different is put the dill and rosemary in a mini food processor so I didn't have big pieces of rosemary.

I live in Hawaii and most recipes for Mahi includes some kind of fruit or nut. This was such a nice change! Easy to make and a crowd pleaser. I served it with steamed spinach and red potato mash....soooo good! Thanks

The fish was super moist and as my daughter who is a culinary major said, "It didn't taste fishy at all!" And she actually ate the fish. LOL! I however, used mahi Mahi loins which I cut in half. I didn't even think about how that would effect the cooking time, so I think I slightly over cooked them. But even in doing that, the fish was still very good.
