This was okay, but next time I will change it some. This time I followed the recipe exactly, but found the lemon to be overpowering and the whole dish too tart for my taste. Next time I might double the honey or halve the lemon juice. Otheriwse, I liked the combination of flavors, the balance just wasn't right for me. Made with mahi mahi.Reply

Delicious -- a real keeper. I used frozen Mahi Mahi fillets and it was great. In spite of the fact I like to follow recipes as closely as possible the first time around, I couldn't do it -- no fresh basil, no scallions, no time to get 'em. It was delicious anyway, and will probably be even better when I make sure I have all the ingredients!Reply
