The panko, the Parmesan, the pesto… all these "P's" lead us to pure pristine flavor perfection. The mahi retains its moist flakiness in the panko crust. The fish is served on the puckering, yet creamy pesto sauce, the melding of the two being the Platonic ideal of soft and crunch tang. Nutty Parmesan dusts fresh vegetables, and the entire meal comes together in one, two, pthree. Pthree? Yeah, we were trying too hard there.
