Summer Fish Recipes: Peruvian Inspired Flounder Fillet

summer fish recipe

Recently, my husband brought home a menu from a new local Peruvian cuisine restaurant. The ingredients from one of their appetizers “Choritos a la Chalaca” grabbed my attention. I don’t like mussels (the choritos part) but I like onions, tomato, corn and lemon juice (the a la chalaca) portion. Since I am trying to include more fish in my meals, I decided to make a fish version of the meal.

As I did my research, I learned that many authentic Peruvian “Choritos a la Chalaca” dishes include white wine, limes and rocoto chili peppers. In my version, I leave out all three. I’m going through a hot sauce phase at the moment though, so I included a tablespoon to give the dish some heat. It’s a light, delicious dish that can be eaten alone or with some brown rice. This is definitely now one of my “go to” summer fish dishes. I think that you will like it too…
