Melissa's Magnificent Mahi Mahi

Melissa, our beekeeper from the Greek Isles, has returned to us this spring. Her mama, the Greek muse Terpsichore, once again schlepped her daughter and dropped her off at our door, asked for those magnificent shopping coupons we give our guests, and went to do some shopping in Douglas and Saugatuck. M brought some fresh Mahi Mahi and proceeded to BBQ us a delicious, ambrosial, and enticing dish. During her prep work (her hostile takeover of our kitchen), she pulled out a small packet of spices to rub on the fish. She said it was super secret and her mother the muse would be furious if she shared it, so she did. M made us the most delicious lunch, of which the rub for the Mahi Mahi follows:
