I agree, it did not turn out very flavorful. We thought it might need some soy sauce for a boost.

I thought this recipe was excellent and will be making it again. The flavors are subtle, but I love sesame oil/seeds and their flavor.

Whole Foods and most other stores stopped selling Mahi Mahi due to code Red overfishing; they suggested Tuna instead, due to its similar texture. From reading the previous reviews, I doubled the ginger amount. It was awesome! My friends said that it was one of the best dishes I made in a long time. Nice! :)
