Anyway, this fish was simple and spicy! Chipotle is a smoked-dried jalapeno. That should explain one thing...heat! If you haven't had chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, you might be a bit surprised at the bite it has...so be careful and use caution! Don't say I didn't warn you.........
Chipotle Fish Packets

Printable Recipe
Ingredients:
4 (6oz) portions of mild white fish such as tilapia, halibut, or red snapper (I know it says red, but it's considered a white fish, I swear!)
3-4 key limes
salt and pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2-3 chipotle chili from a 7oz can of chipotle chili in adobo sauce, PLUS 1 Tbls of the adobo sauce (***Don't worry, I'll share a recipe with you tomorrow that will show you what you can create with the rest of the can!**)
Aluminum foil
Non-stick cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat grill to medium heat or an oven to 400 degrees.
Divide up the fish between the 4 pieces of aluminum foil sprayed with non-stick spray. Sprinkle each packet with about 3/4 teaspoon lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
Blend mayonnaise and chipotle along with the adobo sauce in a blender or small food processor until smooth. Divide the flavored mayonnaise between the 4 packets and spread to cover. Close foil around fish to create a packet.

If grilling, place direction on the grill grates and cook for 12-14 minutes. If baking, place packets on a cookie sheet and bake for the same amount of time. Carefully remove the packets from the grill (or oven) and the fish from the packets! Enjoy!
I agree; it looks yummy! I very, very rarely cook fish, but you always make it look so easy and delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteThe only fish my son will eat is tilapia, so never hesitate -- for my benefit, anyway! -- to keep posting recipes using it ... :) This looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely and it is certainly easy to do. I think I'll try this but cut back a bit on the chipotles. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeletelooks delicious!
ReplyDeleteDang Girlie! You're making me drool and I just ate room service! I share the chipotle fever with you. There is nothing like it. That said I'm not sure I love tilapia as much as you - but I am sure if anyone can convert me, it's you. So psyched I could get online tonight to see this!
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh that is going to be hot and spicy!!! I love it. Isn't it amazing the kick that stuff has! This looks delicious and tilapia is perfect for it.
