Notes
The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients and are NOT accurate because they include all of the aioli separated into 4-servings. However, this is not correct because a proper serving size of the sauce is only about 1-Tblsp. The aioli recipe makes approximate 2-cups, more than needed for this dish. On the positive side, the sauce will store in a sealed container, in your fridge for up to 3-days. So, we tend to use the left-over aioli for Mahi-Mahi, Salmon, and even grilled Chicken.
