Make It

Step 1

Place each filet on a piece of foil. Drizzle each with ¼ teaspoon olive oil and ¼ teaspoon bouillon. Season with pepper. Fold into a packet.

Step 2

Heat large skillet over medium heat. Place fish packets in skillet. Cook, turning halfway through cooking, for 8 to 10 minutes or until fish is no longer translucent and flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Step 3

Combine evaporated milk, cheese, adobo sauce, remaining 1/2 teaspoon bouillon, garlic powder and cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce has thickened. Serve over fish.

Cook’s Tip:

For an added “wow” factor, serve the fish over a clean banana leaf and top with sliced yellow peppers and chopped cilantro. Banana leaves can be found at Latin American markets.
