Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or snapper)
- 8 tablespoons Sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 piece Lime (juiced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 piece Red chilli (thinly sliced, optional for extra spice)
- 2 stalks Spring onions (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 4 sheets Parchment paper or aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
Lay out the parchment paper or aluminum foil sheets on a flat surface. Lightly brush the center of each sheet with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place one fish fillet in the center of each sheet, and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
Pour 2 tablespoons of the sweet chilli sauce mixture over each fillet, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon to coat the fish.
Sprinkle the sliced red chilli (if using) and spring onions over the top of the fillets.
Carefully fold the parchment paper or foil over the fish to create a sealed parcel. Fold the edges tightly to lock in the steam and flavors.
Place the parcels on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the parcels (watch out for steam) and transfer the fish to serving plates.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve with steamed rice or a side of stir-fried vegetables.
