For best results, use fresh lime juice. Bottled lime juice can sometimes have a slightly bitter taste. Don't over-marinate the fish, as the lime juice can start to 'cook' it and make it mushy. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the mahi mahi in a skillet on the stovetop. Use medium-high heat and cook for about the same amount of time per side. Serve this Lime-Marinated Mahi Mahi with rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a complete and healthy meal.
