I prepared this dish tonight with Mahi-mahi. It was delightful. I substituted regular apply jelly with Walden Farms apple butter spread, and I used I Can't Believe It's Not Butter instead of olive oil. I made an addition to the recipe by slicing up a gala apple and stir frying an baking it with the fish. It was delicious!!! I made a side dish of wasabi lemon sugar snap peas, but they did not turn out as good as the Mahi-mahi. I suggest serving this over a bed of asparagus or whipped potatos. Something a little less flavorful so you can enjoy the unique flavor of the apple horseradish glaze.07/08/10
