GRILLED MAHI MAHI



Grilled Mahi Mahi image

This recipe is great either on the grill or in the oven broiler. The tomatoes give it a little bite. My entire family loves it, even my pickiest eater. In the winter I make this dish in my oven or broiler. The amounts I gave are approximate. I use two cans of tomatoes when I want more 'bite,' only one can when I want less. I like a lot of garlic so I generally use a lot.

This is an excellent way to cook any firm white fish and a great spicy marinade and dipping sauce. The recipe is from Bon Appetit. We have also used the sauce with chicken, pork and shrimp.

Tips:
