Serves 4 people

Categories: Fish, Main Dish

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs salmon fillets
  • 1 cup slivered carrot
  • 1 cup slivered red bell peppers or 1 cup green bell peppers or 1 cup zucchini
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°; tear off about 2 feet of heavy-duty foil; fold it in half to make a double-thickness square that measures about 12 inches on each side; place the foil on a cookie sheet.

  2. Place the fish in the center of the foil; top the fish with the slivered carrots and peppers.

  3. In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat; add in the garlic and ginger; saute until they are fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. Add in soy sauce, vinegar, and hoisin sauce; simmer for about 2 minutes.

  5. Remove pan from heat.

  6. Pour the sauce carefully over the fish and vegetables; wrap foil into an airtight packet around the fish, vegetables, and sauce, folding and sealing the edges.

  7. Bake for 20 minutes; remove from oven and open the packet immediately (and carefully) so the fish stops cooking; serve.
