Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces flounder fillets
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, rice vinegar, and red chili flakes. Whisk together to make the marinade.
Lay out 4 sheets of aluminum foil, large enough to wrap the flounder fillets individually.
Place one flounder fillet in the center of each foil sheet. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the marinade over each fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Top each fillet with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and chopped cilantro leaves for extra freshness.
Close the foil packets by folding the edges together tightly to seal. This will help steam the fish while keeping the marinade's flavors intact.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C).
Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to maintain the fish's tender texture.
Carefully remove the packets from the grill and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before opening (be cautious of the hot steam).
Plate the flounder fillets and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for a final touch of flavor and crunch.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables to complete the meal.
