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
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.Hey there!!
