For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a touch of heat. If you don't have mahi mahi, other firm white fish such as cod or snapper can be substituted. Freshly squeezed lime juice is highly recommended for the best flavor. Serve over rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious sauce. Consider adding finely diced bell peppers to the sauce for added texture and sweetness.

May 2, 2025I was a little hesitant about the fish sauce, but it really adds a great depth of flavor. I used coconut aminos instead of fish sauce and it was still delicious.
