Baked fish in an aluminum foil

Asian Style Baked Fish

An Asian inspired baked fish taken from Wok and Skillet (wokandskillet.com) that will satisfy a craving for Chinese steamed fish. The recipe is perfect in itself, but I had to modify it for my family who has gluten and soy sensitivity. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 6-8 oz fish fillet cod, tilapia, or any white fish
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • pinch salt and pepper
  • 1 in ginger sliced or julienned

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos to make it gluten-free and soy-free
  • 2 tsp Shaoxing wine
  • pinch white pepper

Garnish

  • 1 stalk green onion sliced thinly
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 400° F.
  • Prepare aluminum foil (or parchment paper) on baking sheet. The foil should be large enough to fold up and cover the fish when baking.
  • Place fish on aluminum foil, then drizzle with 1 tsp sesame oil.
  • Season fish with salt and pepper, and rub them on the fish gently.
  • Scatter the julienned ginger over the fish.
  • Fold aluminum up over the fish and join the edges together by rolling and folding the sides together a few times to form a seal, as if making a pocket for the fish.
  • Bake for 10-15 min.
    Fish is done if it flakes easily with a fork. If the fish still looks translucent and does not flake easily, bake for a few minutes longer until it’s done.
  • While the fish is baking, make the sauce by combining all sauce ingredients together.
  • When the fish is cooked through, open the foil pocket carefully and pour the sauce over the fish.
  • Garnish with green onions and cilantro over the fish.
  • Serve with steamed white rice and enjoy!
