Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 piece red chili, finely sliced
• 2 pieces green onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 piece lemongrass stalk, finely sliced
• 4 tablespoons coconut milk
• 1 piece carrot, julienned
• 1 piece red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 4 sheets parchment paper or aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

Step 3

Lay out 4 sheets of parchment paper or aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long.

Step 4

Place one fish fillet in the center of each sheet and drizzle 1 tablespoon of the marinade over each piece. Spread the marinade evenly to coat the fish.

Step 5

Top each fillet with a portion of red chili slices, green onions, chopped cilantro, sliced lemongrass, and julienned carrots and bell peppers.

Step 6

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of coconut milk over the ingredients on each packet.

Step 7

Fold the parchment paper or foil over the fish to create a sealed packet. Be sure to fold the edges tightly to trap steam as it cooks.

Step 8

Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Carefully open the packets (beware of hot steam!) and transfer the fish and vegetables to a plate. Pour any remaining sauce from the packet over the top.

Step 10

Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice or a side of your choice. Enjoy!
