Ingredients

4 servings

4 mahi-mahi fillets (about 6 oz each), skin removed
1 tsp fine sea salt
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit seeds and whole spices. Only a pinch of ground ginger is used per serving, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 tbsp coconut oil
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit high-fiber foods. Coconut oil is pure fat with no fiber, so it leaves virtually no residue. If you prefer to always avoid coconut oil, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For the sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit fibrous roots and whole spices. Only about 1/4 teaspoon of finely grated fresh ginger is used per serving, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
3 tbsp coconut aminos
Chef's tip
Soy sauce is saltier and less sweet; start with less and adjust.
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit the fiber in fruit. Juice has almost none of it and this recipe uses only about 2 1/4 teaspoons of lime juice per serving, so a pulp-free juice here is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid lime juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp lime zest
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit citrus peel because of its fiber. The recipe uses only about 1/4 teaspoon of finely grated lime zest per serving, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid lime peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

For serving

lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the mahi-mahi fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, turmeric, and ground ginger, then rub the mixture evenly over both sides of each fillet.
2
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, coconut aminos, lime juice, and lime zest. Set aside.
