This got mixed reviews. My husband really liked this, but my son (who does not really like commercial fish) didn't. Granted my son felt that it was just the commercial fish and not the flavor. Personally, I can think of better ways of preparing fish. My rating comes with some altercations to the recipe. First, I marinated the fish for 30 minutes in 1/2c lemon juice & 1/2 c pineapple juice and then baked the fish with coconut milk. I can't imagine using regular milk with this dish.

This recipe didn't make alot of sense to me. It would be better to marinate the fish prior and not mix up a curdled milk in the pan that didn't do much except make it a pain to clean. Also it is quite bland. Had to sprinkle seafood seasoning on the fish. Would have been better marinating in coconut milk and sprinkling a small amt of lemon on prior to baking. With the price of fish, better to look for a more flavorful recipe.

Followed SMILIE224's suggestions as well and added pepper, minced onion, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, pineapple juice, and 1 cup of lemon juice. Used 5 fish filets, 3 mahi mahi and 2 ahi tuna. We also omitted the milk. The lemon flavor was still strong even though it was diluted by the pineapple juice and used less than the recipe called for. I can't imagine how bad it would have been if we'd followed the recipe as written. I can see why it only has 3 stars overall. I would give this recipe 4 stars with the adjustments I made. I normally at least try to make a recipe as written so I can give it a proper review, but this one just seemed like a fail from the get-go. Was a good base though.

Wonderful flavor. I followed the advise of SMILIE224 and I was not disappointed. I made this with the sweet potato pineapple mash found on this website. My mom and grand mom LOVED it.

Was very dissapointed with this recipe and I love pineapples and mahi mahi. Didn't taste anything but lemon.. way too much lemon. I'm not sure if we would try this again

After alterations it was still just ok. I tried to find a recipe that incorporated Mahi Mahi and what I already had in my pantry, especially after reading some of the other reviews. So I used Spike seasoning instead of basil & thyme and less than a cup of lemon juice. I also placed the pineapple juice in with the milk. I probably won't make this again but I'm giving it 3 stars because it fine but wasn't something I'd add to my recipe box.

We made this with only 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice and instead of the basil and thyme we used caribbean jerk seasoning. It was wonderful served with rice. Healthy summer meal!

I had four fillets, used 3/4 c lemon juice, and pineapple with juice. Marinated 20 minutes beforehand, baked for about 30 minutes. I still didn't care for it. I hate to give bad ratings, but there just wasn't anything we liked about it.
