Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh trout fillets
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the ginger and finely grate it. Finely mince the garlic cloves. Thinly slice the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate.
In a small bowl, mix the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Rinse and pat dry the trout fillets with a paper towel. Place each fillet on an individual sheet of aluminum foil.
Drizzle the marinade evenly over each trout fillet. Sprinkle the white parts of the green onions on top of the fish.
Seal each piece of trout by folding the aluminum foil into packets, ensuring the edges are tightly sealed to trap the steam.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and put them into the preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the foil packets (be cautious of the hot steam) and transfer the fish to serving plates.
Garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions and serve immediately. Optionally, pair with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
