Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup coconut milk, 2 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush 2 tbsp olive oil evenly over 4 mahi-mahi fillets and season with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Grill the mahi-mahi fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, basting frequently with the coconut-lime glaze using a brush, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has grill marks.
  4. Step 4: Transfer the grilled fillets to plates and spoon any remaining glaze over the top. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro to add a bright herbal note.
