Tomatoey Baked Paiche with Goat Cheese and Mint
Serves 4
Time 45 min
Fresh mint and goat cheese brighten up this comforting baked dish. Paiche (pronounced PIE-chay) is a lean, firm fish from Peru, making it a great contrast to the silky tomato sauce. The sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated before adding the fish, or make extra for pasta or pizza.
