Great flavor & light! Used frozen mahi mahi fillets that I thawed, omitted tahini, & substituted baby arugula for the watercress. Only marinated the fish 1 hr, and cooked longer than recipe said (about 6-8 minutes for each side). Also served with oven-roasted dill potatoes. This recipe was served for a dinner party, for 4 people. For appetizers, we had served sushi (california & spicy tuna roll), with beer or oolong tea. We were able to eat dessert about 45min-1hr later without feeling overly full. (Made Chocolate-Orange cake...<http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/zucchini-chocolate-orange-cake/Detail.aspx>).
