I’m always looking for more delicious ways to eat fish. And this Thai-Style Baked Mahi Mahi Recipe offers a wonderfully flavored, delicate white fish served a top roasted vegetables and smothered with a creamy coconut lime sauce.
It was a dish that was not only colorful and beautiful, but very fresh and tasty. Light and delicate, yet satiating, my husband and I loved this low calorie fish recipe.
Cooking it in the sealed foil helps keep it moist and tender, and helps the essence of the coconut lime sauce penetrate the vegetables as well as the mahi mahi.
This Thai-Style Baked Mahi Mahi is truly a satisfying Weight Watchers fish recipe.

I have a question – is it safe to put the vegetables in the marinade the raw fish was in?
