Steamed Fish but No Steamer

Steaming food wrapped in parchment paper or foil in the oven is a great idea. Not only do the flavors intensify in the tightly sealed package, but clean-up becomes a breeze.

If you’re not crazy about fish, this dish works well with a boneless chicken breast too.

Oven-Steamed Fish With Bok Choy

Active Work Time: 10 minutes * Total Preparation Time: 25 minutes

2 (1/3-pound) fish filets, such as orange roughy, sea bass or snapper

1 (1-inch) piece ginger root, thinly sliced

2 green onions, chopped

2 small heads baby bok choy, leaves separated

4 sprigs cilantro

1 (5 1/2-ounce) can straw mushrooms

4 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons sugar

2 tablespoons lime juice

*

Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Place each fish filet on a large sheet of parchment paper or foil that has been placed on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the ginger, green onions, bok choy, cilantro, straw mushrooms and garlic over the fish.

Combine the soy sauce, sugar and lime juice in a small bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Pour the sauce over the fish and vegetables then fold up the paper or foil securely to seal. Bake until the fish flakes, about 15 minutes.
