I left out the chicken stock, added 2 tbsp of rice vinegar instead of one, and fried the mahi in sesame oil. The dish was a hit. Thanks for the recipe!

Good meal-in-one entree. Add a salad and dinner's complete. The sauce was pleasantly sweet. I'd skip the 1T of sugar next time. I used a 28oz can of diced tomatoes but I think the finished sauce would be greatly improved by using garden fresh tomatoes rather than canned. The directions fail to mention when to add the dice tomatoes so I assumed they were meant to be added along with the tomato paste, fish sauce, etc.

Zowie! Great dish! I used soy sauce, lime juice instead of lemon and about a half tablespoon of Splenda instead of sugar. The flavor of the sauce was absolutely wonderful without overpowering the fish. Thanks! I'll make this again and again.

Oh wow. I've had fish every way I can think of - and this is such a treat! The sweet-basil is the perfect compliment to the mahi flavor. It tones down the fishy taste without masking it. Perfect. One of my favorite Zaar finds to-date.

Yum. The tomato-basil sauce was great. I left the sugar out, and it was fine. I think next time I'll eithr pour the sauce on the mahi while it's still cooking or put a little of the fresh basil on the mahi to give the fish itself a little more flavor. Thanks for posting!

Wonderful--A simple, delightful sauce that makes eating this dish a nice change of pace from the usual garlic butter or lemon I usuually do. A keeper!!

Great recipe. We were concerned that the amount of garlic called for would be overpowering, but it wasn't at all! skipped the sugar, used lemon and soy. Terrific flavor all around. Thanks! Andiamo

I made this on mahi we caught in Key West. I think the topping was acceptable, but seemed a bit too Italian for our mahi tastes.

I left out the tomato paste and substituted water for chicken broth. We absolutely loved it. We'll have this again.
