"This is another great tropical recipe for Mahi-mahi, that I stole from another web site! I like to use fresh pineapple but canned will do. Enjoy!!"

Not a big fan of the glaze. By the way, it's not really a glaze at all.

Thickens well if you let it boil for a little while to reduce it (careful not to do it too much or you'll boil off all the alcohol in the rum!). Full, sweet flavour and complementary texture (don't let the onions get TOO soft - a little crunchiness gives it good balance). Only problem is possibly losing a lot of the onion/shallot/pineapple in the grill pan and not grilling the fish properly from being covered in shallots, onions and pineapple. Next time I'll sieve the glaze mixture and use the liquid for grilling the Mahi Mahi, putting the veg on top when I serve it up.

The title should be changed to Pineapple Rum topping. When I think of glaze, I invision a thinned out gravy. The "Glaze" tasted great though, but it was missing something. I think next time I'll add shredded coconut and call it a Pina colada topped Mahi-Mahi
