30 minutes

Chili lime sauce is a vibrant representative of Mexican cuisine that brings freshness and spiciness to grilled fish dishes. Its base is lime, a symbol of sunny flavor that pairs wonderfully with the heat of red chili pepper and the aroma of cilantro. This sauce not only enhances the fish's taste but also adds an exotic touch to it. In Mexican gastronomy, fresh citrus notes and spicy peppers are key elements that create a balance between acidity and heat. The flavor of this sauce is rich, spicy, and slightly sweet due to the addition of sugar. It pairs perfectly with fried fish, creating a harmony of textures and flavor nuances, making every meal a true culinary adventure.
