- 4 garlic cloves
- About 3 square inches of fresh ginger root
- 2 green onions, chopped, green part only
- 1 serrano chile pepper, minced
- 1 medium zucchini, washed and sliced thinly
- ¾ oz. cilantro, washed and chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark-roasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon dark 100% maple syrup
- 4 4-oz. pieces of arctic char, wild Pacific halibut, tilapia, or similar fish that is sustainable for your region
- 4 large squares of parchment paper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Peel the garlic and ginger and grate into a small bowl. Stir in onions, serrano pepper, zucchini, and cilantro. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and maple syrup, and toss well to combine.
Place a piece of fish on each square of parchment paper and divide the topping evenly between them, spreading it over the top. Fold the paper over to form a packet around each fillet and seal the edge of each packet, crimping tightly.
Arrange the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Unseal and serve.
