I made this last night for dinner. Wonderful flavors! I love grilled fish, and the mahi turned out perfectly in the cook time specified. Only thing I might change is to add some ginger or maybe a bit of jalapeno to the sauce to give it a little bite. But it was delicious as is. Thanks for sharing. Made for Susies World Tour 2018.

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
