This was a great recipe. All the different ingredients made a perfect mix to go on the fish and make into a sandwich. Will make this again.

This is now marinating in my ref rig. I had frozen Mahi Mahi from Trader Joe's in my freezer and all of the other ingredients except for the shallots. I am going to broil it for dinner. There is no way that this fish is not going to be fantastic.
