With that said, this was still really good and really easy! And if you don't like fish (cause I know you are out there), you can use this on fish or even as a sandwich spread...which is what I will be doing very, very soon!

Printable Recipe
Ingredients:
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 Tablespoon dried oregano
1 garlic clover, finely minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 Tilapia fillets
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients except the fish. Remove 2 Tablespoons of mixture and set aside.
Preheat grill to 325 degrees F. Tear off 4 pieces of aluminum foil that are big enough to form a packet around the fish. Spray aluminum foil with non-stick spray and place one piece of fish on each piece. Evenly slather the chimichurri mayo over the top of each piece of fish. Bring the long sides of the foil together and fold twice to seal. Now bring the remaining sides together, folding to seal - leave a little room for steam.
Place fish over direct heat and grill for 7 minutes, rotate the packets and continue to cook for another 7-8 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Carefully remove from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Carefully open the foil packet and serve. Top with reserved mayo if desired. Enjoy!
Two Years Ago: Grilled Pork Chops with Tarragon Mustard Sauce
totally understand!... it's a fine balance between hunger and photography isn't it?... this looks wonderful... I made my first chimichurri sauce a few weeks back but the idea of making it into a mayo is genius... I love it!
ReplyDelete"Sometimes hunger over takes any sort of effort at taking good pictures." - happens every shot for me, coupled with not liking my food below piping hot. Bev gained a couple of pounds on our trip and wants to eat grilled everything for a while so I'll be digging thru my Jenn file.
ReplyDeleteIf only we could eat photograghs! We'd all be shooting and cooking them daily. I used to slather mayo on fish and broil - less inventive than you, but quick and easy (when you're at the beach.)
ReplyDeleteMmm I bet this is awesome on fish, but amazing on EVERYTHING! I agree. I'm very impatient when it comes to photography!!
ReplyDeleteSues
I am making this for sure, great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love using mayo on fish, and this one sounds amazing. I know just what you mean about the photos, there is just so long you can stare at a delicious dish without devouring it.
ReplyDeleteI have some fresh halibut that I bet this would chimichurri mayo would be fantastic with.
ReplyDeleteChimi-Mayo - That is superb! How about a grilled chicken breast sandwich with chimi mayo on it, yum!
