For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a touch of heat.

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.

    I 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.

  • Destiney Langoshhills

    Easy to follow and the results were fantastic. My family loved it!

  • Triston Littel

    The sauce was a bit too thin for my liking, so I simmered it for a few extra minutes. It turned out perfectly!

  • Naomi Robel

    I added a squeeze of sriracha to the sauce for a bit more kick. It was a hit!

  • Oren Jacobs

    This recipe is amazing! The sauce is so flavorful and the mahi mahi was perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be making this again!
