RECIPE
Mahi Mahi Rice Bowl
Now that the kids are here and in school, I need some easy meals to cook at night. I love that this rice bowl is super easy to make and it is delicious. Plus I love rice bowls, they fill me up.
I start by making the marinade in the morning and letting the fish marinade all day. Once I get ready to cook dinner, it takes less that 30 minutes to get it on the table. I also don’t like cooking rice and we love the Trader’s Joes frozen brown rice in our home. I like to get to get the peppers, avocados and limes chopped before cooking the fish. The fish takes about 10 minutes to grill. So once the fish is done, I like to have the bowls ready. So it is easy to get dinner on the table.
You can definitely substitute a different fish you would like. Mahi Mahi is one of my favorites, so I tend to stick with this fish. Honestly you could substitute chicken, steak or shrimp for the fish if you wanted.
That’s the Dish from my Kitchen to your Kitchen ????

Tips & Recommendations
I use the frozen rice from Trader Joes. It is our favorite rice, plus I don’t care for cooking rice. I highly recommend a rice that doesn’t take long to cook.
