One of my favourite dinners when we are in Hawaii is fresh Ono with Huli Huli sauce (a popular sauce on the islands) and of course coconut rice. Full of flavour, light and even healthy. If you are looking for a great tasty meal for family or friends this is up there on the list. Not even that hard to make so beginner cooks do not be afraid to give it a go!
Hope you enjoy. Karen
