Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (toasted)
- 2 teaspoons Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 1 medium Carrot (julienned)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 4 cups Baby bok choy (chopped)
- 1 Lime (cut into wedges, for serving)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 sheets (12x12 inches each) Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lay out 4 sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
Place one halibut fillet in the center of each sheet of foil. Season each fillet lightly with salt and black pepper.
Divide the green onions, carrots, red bell pepper, and baby bok choy evenly among the foil packets, spreading the vegetables around the halibut fillets.
Drizzle approximately 1 tablespoon of the sauce over each halibut fillet and vegetables.
Fold the sides of the foil over the halibut and vegetables, crimping the edges securely to seal each packet.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open each packet (watch out for steam) and transfer the halibut and vegetables to a serving plate.
Garnish with lime wedges, and serve immediately.
