Combine coconut milk, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and fish sauce in a medium saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until it slightly thickens, about 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro and green onions. Let the sauce cool slightly, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Set aside a portion of the sauce for later use. Take 1/4 cup of the sauce and use it to marinate the Mahi Mahi Filets. Reserve the remaining sauce to serve alongside the cooked dish.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the mahi-mahi fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Season them with salt and pepper, then brush them with the 1/4 cup of reserved sauce that was used for marinating.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven until it is opaque in the center, which typically takes 10 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Serve the cooked fish with hot rice and the remaining sauce. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped cilantro and scallions according to taste.
