I made this to go on the macadamia crusted fish by ChrisMc. It was easy to make and had very interesting flavors. (would never have thought about putting parmesan and ginger in the same dish!) Although I think that much fresh ginger overpowered everything else. We do like fresh ginger, but I think I'd cut back on it next time, to allow the other flavors to shine through.

Oh. YUM! for the other oil, I used grapeseed oil.. Forgot the parmesan once and it was still wonderful. Used it over chicken thighs along with the RecipeZaar Pineapple Rice dish..see my comment there.
