I'm always looking for new ways to cook fish, and this recipe definitely fits the bill. The Thai coconut sauce is a nice change from the usual lemon-butter sauce.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover coconut milk. I always have a can or two in my pantry, and it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.

I love the simplicity of this recipe. It's just a few ingredients, but they come together to create a really flavorful dish. I served it with jasmine rice and a side of vegetables, and it was a perfect meal.

This was my first time grilling mahi-mahi, and it turned out great! The fish was flaky and moist, and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I still enjoyed this dish. The sauce was light and creamy, and the fish was cooked to perfection. I would definitely make this again, but I might try a different sauce next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my liking, but I was able to tone it down by omitting the chili peppers. The sauce was still very flavorful, and the fish was cooked perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out grainy. I'm not sure what I did wrong. The flavor was still good, but the texture was a bit off.

The grilled mahi-mahi was delicious, but I found the Thai coconut sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I ended up adding some lime juice and Sriracha to balance out the flavors.

I've made this dish several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The sauce is so good that I've even used it as a marinade for other types of fish and chicken. It's definitely a recipe I'll keep coming back to.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The sweetness of the coconut milk, the tanginess of the lime, and the spiciness of the chili peppers all come together perfectly. I also appreciate that the recipe is relatively easy to follow, even for
