Our lightly spiced mahi mahi gets its Asian flair from the fresh mint and bok choy. Any mild-flavored, firm fish will work in the recipe. So, if you can’t find mahi mahi at your fish counter try grouper or snapper instead. You could easily use chopped fresh cilantro or basil in the place of the mint if that’s what you already have in your kitchen. If you like dishes with more heat, add more crushed red pepper until you achieve your preferred heat preference. This recipe could stand-in for a very light meal but for a more filling option serve it along with something sweet like fresh pineapple or orange wedges.
