Was a huge hit! Didn't have mirin on hand so I just used a white wine I had, turned out great. The flavor is amazing. Took more time than I had expected to get everything prepared, but totally worth the time! Bf thought I had worked all day to make it, and asks for it again and again! I made it with rice and chimichuri. Delish! Great for special occasions!
Lime-Scented Orange Roughy and Spinach
Cooking en papillote (in parchment) helps the citrus rind and juice lend aroma and flavor to the spinach and fish. Here, we use heavy-duty foil to make the packets for the fish and spinach because it's easy to find and handle.
