This is very tasty! The fish was still a little dry. Only cooked for 20 min. as to not make fish jerky. You might want to cut the mayonnaise back some, that's a lot of mayo. Used Ritz cracker crumbs instead of the bread. Will make again.

Wonderful! Tried this recipe with the ingredients on-hand, which included canned pineapple instead of crushed. Flavors were delicious but I think the crushed pineapple would have made it even better. Thanks for posting this! Our family scored it an 8 of 10!

The fruit does make this dish sparkle. I would love to make this again if fresh Mahi Mahi could be at hand. Frozen filets just don’t have the freshness but ginger and especially the citrus complemented the toughness of the fish. Place a glass of vibrant Austrian Riesling aside your dish for a meal all about delicious.
