Ingredients

  • 4 Mahi Mahi fillets
  • 1 cup coconut milk

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 red chili, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine coconut milk, lime juice, garlic, ginger, red chili, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
  2. Place the Mahi Mahi fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let the fish marinate for 15 minutes.
