Hello foodie friends,

Summer is almost over and before we head to fall recipes and comforting dishes to warm your soul, here is my new fish recipe: Mahi- Mahi en papillote in chimichurri sauce. En papillote, or al cartoccio in Italian, is a method of cooking where you use parchment paper to create pouches or kind of envelopes to bake your favorite veggies, fish or meats to perfection. The meats cooks in its own steam and juices from the meats stays in the pouch creating a delicious meal.

This recipe combines two of my favorite things: chimichurri and mahi-mahi. The combination of the tangy sauce used as marinade elevates the flavor of this flaky meaty fish. Then i used a piece of parchment paper about 15 x 15 inches, add a layer of herbed rice (simply mixed white cooked rice and herbs of choice) add the piece of fish, add chimichurri sauce, tomatoes, slices of lime and more herbs.

Absolutely delicious!

Here are the ingredients for this simple and delicious 30 minutes meals.

You may use cauliflower rice, veggies or thinly sliced potatoes. Add the tomatoes and thinly sliced limes or lemons and fresh parsley.

Then grab both ends, bring it together and fold then the ends under the fish. Onto a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees.

The presentation is impeccable to impress your guest at your next hosted dinner. It is a fun hands on dinner, as each guest can open the pouch and release the amazing aromas coming out from the pouch.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, please like and comment below.
