Fish Steamed In Packets

Steaming fish in individual packets is not only healthy, it makes cleanup a breeze. The presentation in parchment paper is elegant, but foil works too. The fish cooks perfectly and the result is moist and flavorful!!

Steps

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Tear 4 lengths of parchment paper or foil , each about 18 inches long.

Fold each length across in half and unfold.

On 1 / 2 of each piece of paper place 1 / 4 of the fish.

Top each piece of fish with 1 / 4 of the scallions.

Whisk together the sesame oil , rice vinegar , soy sauce and honey until the honey is dissolved.

Drizzle over the fish.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Crimp or fold over the edges to form a sealed packet.

Repeat forming 4 packets.

Place them on 2 baking sheets.

Bake in the center of the oven for about 13 minutes , depending on the thickness of the fish , until the packets are puffed.

Remove from the oven and transfer a packet to each plate.

Cut the top of the packets and open carefully to avoid the escaping steam and serve the fish in the open packets.

Or , if you serve the fish with a side dish that will benefit from the addition of the tasty fish juice , empty the fish and sauce onto your plate !.
