Salsa Macha Fish en Papillote
While the name sounds fancy, this quick meal couldn’t be easier to prepare! Use your favorite white fish and let the oven do the work while it steams to flaky perfection in a parcel of parchment paper.
A punch of flavor comes from salsa macha, a spicy chile oil from Mexico made from dried chiles, spices, nuts and seeds. With our handy Salsa Macha Mix, you can make a mild version of this delicious condiment in a pinch with olive oil, a splash of vinegar and rich peanuts.
