I couldn't find Mahi Mahi so used Chilean Sea Bass which was over $25.00 a lb. So the price per serving was way higher. Served it over Uncle Ben's Whole Grain White Rice Creamy Chicken Flavor rice (10 min to cook). The whole dish was incredible! Easy and quick to fix and delicious...don't leave off the crystalized ginger! Thanks BHG!
