How to Make Asian Style Salmon Or Tofu
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Tear off four 15-inch squares of parchment paper and arrange them evenly on baking sheets.
- Divide 1 cup chopped bok choy and 1/2 cup sliced bell pepper evenly among the four parchment squares.
- Place one 4-6oz salmon fillet (or 1/2 block firm tofu, marinated for at least 2 hours) on top of the vegetables on each square. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Top each square with 2 tablespoons chopped scallions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
- Spoon the sauce evenly over the salmon or tofu and vegetables.
- Top with another 4 squares of parchment paper and fold the edges over several times to create a sealed packet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through (or tofu is heated) and the vegetables are tender.
- Carefully slit the parchment paper open, allowing steam to escape. Serve immediately, being cautious of the hot steam.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
