okay... this is. um. not great looking. but sounded fire while you were making, I might have to copy a veggie take on the recipe.

Dont liquidise the sauce. It was a fatal mistake that led to that colour and the less said about that the better! Pieces of spinach in a spicy tomato sauce would not have looked like that! It did taste good though.
 
Was tired, so made a quickie meal.

Sear roasted salmon w/ butter, lemon, and rosemary. Potato, bell pepper, shallots, garlic, mushroom, and jalapeño. Finished the veggies with a healthy dose of Bravado Spice crimson hot sauce. Fin

Ventured out for some charcuterie and wine

Behold, purists, and recoil: I wanted to marinate some mahi for fish tacos tonight but as I was putting it together I realized I don't have any limes (or even any lemons). I ended up mixing oil with a few splashes of OJ and Rose's Lime Juice, but it was too sweet and didn't have any acidic bite. I hit it with some cider vinegar, and that got me a little closer. With the chopped garlic, jalapeno, and spices, I think I'll be in the right ZIP code after it has a chance to sit for a while, but I'm really counting on Rose's + vinegar to do some heavy lifting for me. How much have I miscalculated here?
I mean, Rose’s Lime is basically just HFCS, lime flavoring and citric acid…
 
Yeah -- the flavor is there but the acid is getting lost completely. I didn't want to use too much though at risk of making the whole thing way too sweet, hence the vinegar.
I honestly think you can do without the citrus since you don't have it- desired seasoning and oil is more than enough for me! if fish sits for too long (like 15+ min) with lime juice, you pre-cook it anyway like ceviche. if you were to use a sugar water like Rose's for a hint of lime and sweet (which isn't bad, I use honey with some fish), keep it at a tablespoon or less.

I mostly squeeze my lime on fish tacos after cooking personally, not for the marinade. white vinegar or red wine vinegar is great for adding a little bite to the marinade like you're doing, but you'll have to run to the store if you truly desire the citrus flavor.
