    YUMMY! We absolutely loved this dish! Lots of flavor, and so healthy! I appreciate having the recipes for a whole meal altogether! Although I did not make the beans, the fruit salsa and green rice were a wonderful complement to the mahi mahi! It was a little time consuming, but easy, and remember that you can make the salsa up to a day ahead. The only thing I would do differently next time is cook the fish for a shorter period of time.

    Lots of chopping but worth the effort. I did make a few changes due to lack of some of the ingredients. First I used Trader Joes Chimichurri since I was missing many ingredients and this also saved a lot of steps. Used red wine vinegar in the bean and thought they were a little plain. Not sure if the sherry vinegar would have made a huge difference. Didn't have fresh mango so chopped up some dried mangos & also used serrano pepper. My husband wasn't in love with this but he didn't like the salsa which to me made the dish. My daughter and I really liked it.

    So much flavor!! Making the green sauce was labor intensive but totally worth it!! My husband and I both agreed this was one of the best meals I've ever made! The mango/pineapple salsa was the best I've had. I used tuna steaks instead because that is what we had. Will make this again.

    The food was really delicous!!!

    I can't see how anyone could say this dish has no flavor. It may not be the flavors you like, but it definitely has flavor. The flavors did complement each other, it had a sweet and spicy thing going. Even if you don't like the rest of the meal, the fish alone is great.

    We will be making this again.

    After reading all the previous reviews, I thought this recipe would be out of this world. First, the recipe took well over 1 1/2 hours to prepare. (As indicated in the recipe It actually took me 2 1/2 hours to prepare. The recipe calls for too much chopping, and I even own two food processors! (I used both and ended up with a huge mess in my kitchen. Finally, when all was said and done the meal fell short, very short. My husband and I were very dissapointed, especially since the ingredients were not cheap. When the meal was over it went in the trash. This was one of the worst food network recipes I have found. (And I always use the foodnetwork recipe to do my cooking. Trust me, there are plenty of other excellent recipes on the foodnetwork websites that are easier, cheaper, and in the end taste much better. Skip this one!

    ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!
    During a recent visit to complete a purchase of a condo in Puerto Vallarta Mexico, we had the chance to go fishing. In all the fishing was poor, but we did manage to catch 3 Mahi Mahi! Thank God! This prompted me to visit foodnetwork.com where I found this recipe. It was absolutely fabulous! I will admit, I made my typical garlic-butter rice vs. the one in the recipe. Shopping in Puerto Vallarta for ingredients proved to be a bit of a challenge, but in all as one of the previous comments said, the salsa made the dish! I also used canned beans, but followed the bean recipe the rest of the way to save time. Our guest are still raving about the dish! I also used the salsa recipe the next night on chicken breast along with rice and braised cabbage, and the chicken was just as good as the fish with the salsa! So much so I'm serving the chicken version to 8 guest on Monday night. Thanks Food network!

    This dish is unbelievably delicious. All the flavors compliment each other perfectly while still having a life of their own. While the prep work is time consuming, you are able to cook items and set them aside while you prepare the next item which makes cooking this dish with friends or by yourself very easy. I would highly recommend this dish to anyone with a taste for amazing flavor combinations. I will most definitely make this dish again. If you are at all iffy about making this, give it a try, you will not regret it.

    Everything about this dish is amazing! While it is not difficult, it does take a long time to make (and I have a chopper that did all of the chopping. I look forward to making the salsa the night before the next time I make it. I felt like a gormet chef when I made this, and it is so healthy too! My boyfriend also loved it. You can not go wrong here.

    very easy to make...My wife is not a big fan of beans, but even she enjoyed this one. everything blends together well but still maintains it own flavor.
