Mahi Mahi en Croûte

Since I'm writing recipes down I thought I could post my favorite. En Croûte simply means "covered with a pastry", so this is a Mahi Mahi covered in a puff pastry shell :) I came up with it after eating a fish en croûte, with a white sauce. I thought "why don't i do the same with my red sauce fish recipe!" So i tried it and i was quite pleased with the result, needless to say it's a fancy dish without really being complicated.

Mahi Mahi en Croûte

Components

2 Mahi Mahi filets

½ onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove chopped

1 small carrot finely chopped

¼ teaspoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon parsley

2-3 tablespoons spaghetti sauce

Pinch of salt

Puff pastry sheet

1 egg

Method

1. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. Add the onion, carrots, and a pinch of salt, cook over low heat for 10 minutes or until soft. Add garlic, cook for 1 minute then add the spaghetti sauce, oregano and parsley. Reduce the heat and simmer for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thickened. Season to taste.
2. Preheat oven at 400⁰ F. Season the fish fillets with salt. Roll out puff pastry sheet so you can cover both fillets and cut in half. Place the fillets in the middle of the sheets, and spoon mixture over the fish. Scramble egg, and brush on the edges of the puff pastry, wrap the pastry over the fish. Brush the remaining egg over the pastry. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
3. Wait for it to cool before eating, at least 10 minutes. The sauce heats up in the oven and might burn you. Eat and enjoy!
