The glaze for the Mahi-Mahi contains some things you may not be familiar with such as; Sambal oelek which is a simple, spicy chili paste. There is no garlic or other spices included which allows you to add heat to a dish without altering other delicate flavors. This is a common table condiment in Asia and China. Thai chili: This is a small chili with a fiery punch that doesn't dissipate with cooking. It ranges in color from green to red when fully ripe. and Lemongrass: One of the most important herbs in Thai and Vietnamese cooking. It's a long, thin stalk with gray-green coloring with a sour-lemon flavor. These spices and herbs, blended together makes the glaze for this fish delicious and flavorful, albeit very spicy!
