Prep Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon light rum

1 tablespoon finely chopped mint

2 teaspoons sugar

2 teaspoons green hot pepper sauce (mild type)

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 8oz mahi mahi fillets (preferably skin on)

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Total Time: 33 minutes
Yield: 2 servings

Preparation

Combine the first six ingredients (lime juice through 1/4 tsp salt) in a bowl and mix well. Add fish to marinade, skin side up, making sure all pieces are covered; refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.

Heat grill to medium-high. Remove fish from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Brush fillets lightly with oil and grill, skin side up, for 3-5 minutes (depending on thickness.) Turn carefully and grill 2-3 minutes more. Sprinkle with a pinch of coarse salt and serve.

If you like more heat, top with a few more drops of pepper sauce instead of the salt.
