Mahi Puttanesca is a fast and easy weeknight or weekend meal! All you need is a few key ingredients, some parchment paper to wrap them in, and an oven. Voila! Dinner is ready. If you serve this dish to guests they will think it’s super fancy but we can keep the secret that it’s really very easy! haha! What is Puttanesca Anyway? Puttanesca is the name of a tomato based sauce made in Italy. It has a colorful past in how it got its name. One variation is that Puttanesca sauce was named after ladies of the evening and it was a quick meal they could throw together in between customers. Ladies of the evening were called Puttana. Hence Puttanesca. Another idea behind the name was that it is a sauce containing leftovers and everything in the kitchen. AKA the whore of sauces. I love the sauce and that you can add more or less of your favorite ingredients and customize it to your liking. So regardless of where the name came from it is still one of my favorites! You can serve the sauce over pasta, chicken, or fish. It is very versatile. Mahi Puttanesca is very flavorful without being overly fishy tasting. What do I need to make this fancy sauce? This is the best part and why you are going to fall in love with this sauce! You can throw together whatever ingredients you love and have on hand. Here is what went into my Puttanesca sauce: One Jar of Marinara Sauce- I love Rao’s. 1 jar of capers- use however many you would like. Kalamata Olives or any olive variety Chopped Yellow onion Chopped Red onion Artichoke Hearts- mine were in a jar Tomatoes that are chopped Minced Garlic Salt and Pepper And of course the Mahi Mahi. I started out by placing 4 pieces of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Then fold the parchment paper into a rectangle and drizzle a little olive oil and put the fish on the paper. SEE HOW I FOLDED THE PAPER HERE: Then I put the rest of the ingredients over the fish and folded the packets to seal them. I baked it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. The fish was cooked perfectly and was so YUMMY! I served it over Quinoa and with a big salad! You might also like to pair this with my delicious Mashed Cauliflower to keep it lower carb. If you change the protein to chicken, you will need to add additional time for cooking. I would use a meat thermometer to make sure your chicken is cooked but it should take about 40 minutes.
