Kiribati glazed mahi mahi is absolutely delicious and takes me right back to the Islands.  This glaze can be used on just about  any type of fish or even chicken would be great. The trick when cooking fish is to not overcook it.  This dish was made on the stove top but you could easily grill it as well.  The glaze has a tenancy to burn so watch it closely.  When cooking it on the stove top once you have a nice glaze on both sides of the fish, you can add a little water to stop the glaze from burning.  I served this dish with simple white rice although coconut rice would also be terrific and some chopped pineapple.  It is a light healthy meal. Enjoy
