Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets White fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger, finely grated
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Zucchini, julienned
- 4 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 4 sheets Parchment paper sheets (12x16 inches each)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut 4 sheets of parchment paper, each approximately 12x16 inches, and fold each sheet in half, then unfold and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice to create your marinade.
Arrange the julienned carrots and zucchini equally on one half of each parchment sheet, creating a bed for the fish.
Place a fish fillet on top of the vegetables on each sheet. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the marinade over each fillet, ensuring even coverage.
Top each fillet with a sprinkle of green onions and optional fresh cilantro.
Fold the other half of the parchment over the fish and vegetables. Tightly crimp and fold the edges, starting at one corner and working your way around to create a sealed packet.
Place the parchment packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is flaky and cooked through.
Carefully transfer the packets to serving plates, and allow each person to open their packet at the table to enjoy the fragrant aroma.
Serve immediately, optionally accompanied by steamed rice or crusty bread.
