CILANTRO LIME FISH
This is a good one for those of us who love lime, since that is the predominant flavor here. Use cod, flounder, or any firm white fish for this. I used Tilapia, and in place of the dried onion I used fresh. I served it with Recipe #120719. From Taste of Home's Quick Cooking (September/October 1999).

Tips:
- For a bolder flavor, use fresh limes and cilantro rather than bottled or dried.
- If you want a spicier marinade, add a jalapeno or serrano pepper.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and salt to your taste.
- The longer you marinate the fish, the more flavorful it will be. However, do not marinate for more than 24 hours, as the acid in the lime juice can start to "cook" the fish.
- For best results, use the marinade to baste the fish while it is cooking. This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- This marinade can be used on any type of fish, but it is especially good with white fish, such as tilapia, cod, or halibut.

This lime and cilantro fish marinade is a simple but delicious way to add flavor to your favorite fish dishes. It is easy to make and can be used with a variety of fish types. Whether you are grilling, baking, or frying your fish, this marinade will help to create a moist, flavorful, and unforgettable meal.
