I just made this tonight for dinner. It was fairly quick and easy. The salsa was very nice. The mint gave it a great boost without being overpowering. The marinade was just as good. This is going in the book! Thanks again NurseDi.

This was really delicious and restaurant quality. My entire family loved it! I didn't have any mint so I left that out, but the mango salsa was great even without it. Thanks for an awesome recipe.

Great recipe! I let the mango salsa cook for a few minutes on the fish. It intensified the jalapenas and softened the onions.

Mahi Mahi wasn't in season so I made it with Talipia for myself and Chicken for my DH. Both dishes turned out fantastic!

Fantastic recipe! The marinade gave the mahi mahi a nice bite to it while the mango salsa added a tasty blend of cooler flavors with just enough kick. I substituted sherry and sugar for the sake since none was available. Would definitely make again.
