Parchment Paper Mahi Mahi

I have been on a Mahi Mahi kick lately and since Trader Joes opened I can get it at fairly good price. Seeing all these folks on here cooking fish with parchment paper I decided I needed to give it a try. Seasoned up the fish with DP Tsunumi Spin and then laid a Rosemary sprig and a few slices of lemon. Wrapped up in parchment and prepped everything else.


 I found this bag of Green Bag Royal Oak up in WYO over the summer at Menards so I bought a few bags and brought them back to Texas (that's another story). This stuff was already at 350 in about 5 min. No smoke or anything I was very impressed and wish I had about 10 bags of it but the car I came back in to Texas was not made for space. 


 Back to the fish, I had two other filets that I vacuum sealed with some tereyaki sauce for about 3 hours and threw them on with the parchment paper fishe at about 300 indirect. Had a few pecan twigs I threw in also. Went for about 20 min and pulled. The parchment fish was very moist and the wife loved it. I was more partial to the tereyaki version. 


 Did a spinach and bean sprouts sautéed in garlic and EVOO. The other stuff was something the wife wanted from Trader Joes it was awesome, some kinda peas and spinach and gnocchi. Had to get something sorta of healthy in me since we are heading to the State Fair tomorrow and I can't imagine the crap I'm going to eat.

    Looks great.  Mahi mahi tastes so good they had to name it twice.  They call that technique en papillote.

    Looks great Tuttle. Try using a little masking tape to get those flaps down next time (that's a tip I got from Little Steven)

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    ???? First time seeing the parchment paper method to do fish. Can it be used for salmon, catfish etc. BTW the plate looks great.

    Hell ya I am. I'm just eating a small breakfast and then leaving around 1 today. I will always have to go back and get the old reliables though, Fletcher's Corn Dog and Fried PB&J.

    I thought that after I was half way through the cook. I used a stapler.

    En papillote is a great way to do pretty much any fish. Even better for shellfish.
