Description

Mahi mahi fillets are topped with a Thai-style coconut milk sauce in this quick and easy main dish recipe.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups coconut milk
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
4 tablespoons chopped green onions, divided
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon fish sauce
2 (6 ounce) mahi mahi fillets

Directions

1 Heat a grill pan over medium heat.
2 Stir coconut milk, 2 tablespoons each cilantro and green onions, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and fish sauce together in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
3 Brush mahi mahi fillets with enough sauce to coat; place into the hot grill pan. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 7 minutes per side.
4 While the fish is cooking, cook remaining sauce at a boil until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm until fish is done.
5 Transfer fish to a serving platter. Drizzle warm sauce over top and garnish with remaining cilantro and green onions.
