Cilantro Garlic Mahi Mahi
We heart cilantro in this house. We like it in salsa, we like it as a garnish, we just like it. Period. And fish is a great light meal that doesn’t have to be complex. The weather is warming and meals around here will become increasingly lighter.
We still enjoy rotating a variety of dishes but fish is perfect for longer, sunnier days. This one literally gets tossed into the oven to baked covered with a delicious sauce that takes only minutes to assemble.
Did you know that cilantro also has other helpful qualities like pulling out heavy metals in your body?! It’s true! With all of our toxic exposures these days, even with personal care products like lipstick, heavy metal exposure is no joke. So not only does this taste amazing, it’s also helping contribute to a healthier you on the back end!

This recipe looks delicious AND it fits the paleo autoimmune protocol (a rare thing). So, thank you! I recently started a weekly Paleo AIP Recipe Roundtable through my blog, and I would love it if you linked up this recipe. I’m trying to expand resources for the AIP community.
