2fresh white fish filets(cod, halibut, or your favorite)
4teaspoonsesame oildivided
2tablespoonsoy sauce
20thin slicesof ginger root
1scallionchopped
Salt and pepperto taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 °F (191 °C). Have ready two pieces of aluminum foil, each big enough to fit the fish filet in the middle with about 5 inches of foil on either side.
Place one fish filet in the middle of one sheet of foil.
Drizzle 2 tsp. of sesame oil on top and gently rub it all over the fish with your fingertips then flip the filet over to coat the other side with the excess sesame oil that has dripped onto the foil. Drizzle 1 tbsp. of soy sauce on top then add 10 slices of ginger, half the chopped scallions and season with salt and pepper.
Bring up the two long sides of the aluminum foil to a tent then together, roll them down while bringing the two other sides up so the liquid doesn't drip out. You should get a nice little pouch/packet.
Repeat with the other filet.
Place both foil packets on a baking sheet and bake fish for 10-15 minutes or until fish is cooked through and flaky.
Carefully unwrap the fish from the package. There is HOT liquid that may come out from either side so be careful!
Serve hot over a bed of rice, veggies, or a salad.
Notes
Depending on the size of your filets, you may not need to cook them as long as I did (15 minutes) or you may need to cook them longer. To check up on the fish after 10 minutes, gently open the pouch from the top and use a fork to prick into the middle of the filet to see if it's still raw.You can use frozen fish filets, too but I'd let them thaw out first and then follow the instructions above.
