Ingredients for Baked Fish Parcels

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Lemon Juice
  • Cornflour
  • Sweet Chili Sauce
  • Garlic Clove
  • Coriander
  • Carrot
  • Green Beans
  • 2 (6-ounce) white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or halibut)

How to Make Baked Fish Parcels

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the fish: Gently pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and ginger.
  3. Assemble the parcels: Place a fish fillet in the center of each large square of parchment paper. Top with sliced shiitake mushrooms, chopped scallions, and a drizzle of soy sauce.
  4. Add vegetables and aromatics: Arrange sliced bell peppers and bean sprouts around the fish.
  5. Seal the parcels: Bring the four corners of the parchment paper together and fold over to create a tight seal, tucking in the edges to prevent leakage. Crimp the edges to ensure a secure seal.
  6. Bake: Place the sealed parcels on a baking sheet and bake for 17 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Serve: Carefully open the parcels (be mindful of steam!) and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
