Chinese Style Oven Baked Fish

5 / 5 (1 reviews)

This Chinese Style Oven Baked Fish is inspired by the classic Chinese steamed whole fish. The fish fillet is oven-baked in parchment paper with fragrant sesame oil and fresh ginger, then the sauce is drizzled on to the fish at the last minute just before serving. The scallions and cilantro on the top add freshness and fantastic flavor. Delicious, easy and healthy!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. Place the fish fillet on a piece of parchment paper horizontally. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the fish, then season with salt and pepper.

  3. Place sliced or julienned ginger over the fish.

  4. Fold the parchment paper up over the bottom part of the fish, then fold it down to cover the top half of the fish. Roll and fold the left and right sides of the parchment paper down towards the fish, then tuck the parchment paper under each side of the fish.

  5. Place the wrapped fish on a baking sheet, then place the baking sheet in the oven.

  6. Take the fish out of the oven after 10 minutes, then test the doneness of the fish by flaking it with a fork. If it flakes easily, the fish is cooked; if the fish still looks translucent and resists flaking, place it back in the oven to heat it until it’s done.

Delicious and easy to follow. I only omitted the ginger because I didn’t have any!
