Description

Imagine flaky, tender fish infused with the savory aromas of ginger and garlic, a culinary journey that elevates a simple meal into a delightful experience. This recipe features fish gently steamed in individual foil packets, nestled on a bed of sliced ginger and garlic. This method ensures the fish remains incredibly moist, absorbing the fragrant flavors as it cooks.

The result is a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture and a symphony of subtle, yet satisfying tastes. Alongside the fish, vibrant bok choy is roasted to perfection. The roasting process transforms the bok choy, giving it a beautiful, deep green color and a slightly caramelized texture that adds a touch of sweetness and nutty flavor.

The edges become wonderfully crisp, providing a delightful contrast to the tender stems. The combination of the tender fish and the crisp-tender bok choy creates a harmonious balance of textures that will tantalize your taste buds. To complete this culinary creation, a tangy and salty scallion oil is drizzled over the fish and bok choy, acting as the perfect finishing touch.

This vibrant oil brings a burst of freshness and depth to the dish, tying all the elements together. The scallions infuse the oil with their subtle oniony flavor, creating a bright and aromatic sauce that complements the fish and vegetables beautifully. The saltiness enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients, while the tangy notes add a delightful zing that will awaken your senses.

This recipe calls for approximately 12 ounces of raw fish fillets, typically cut into three portions. As the fish cooks, it will naturally reduce in size, resulting in about 9 ounces of cooked fish. Feel free to adjust the portion sizes to your liking.

This is more than just a recipe; it’s an invitation to savor the simple pleasures of fresh, flavorful ingredients prepared with care. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of textures and tastes, making it a truly memorable meal.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut three large pieces of foil. On each piece, arrange thinly sliced ginger and garlic in the center.
    2.
    Place a mahi-mahi fillet on top of the ginger and garlic on each foil piece. Drizzle each fillet with 1 tablespoon of tamari and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Seal the foil packets tightly.
    3.
    Heat avocado oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add thinly sliced scallions and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned. Immediately transfer the scallions to a cool bowl to stop cooking.
    4.
    To the bowl with the cooked scallions, add ½ teaspoon rice vinegar, ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon tamari. Stir well to combine. Set aside.
    5.
    Slice baby bok choy in half lengthwise and wash thoroughly.
    6.
    Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. While the fish is baking, place an empty baking sheet in the oven to preheat. With 10 minutes left on the fish's cooking time, carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Place the bok choy halves cut-side down on the hot sheet and drizzle with ¾ tablespoon of tamari. Bake for the remaining 10 minutes, until bok choy is tender and slightly browned.
    7.
    Remove the fish and bok choy from the oven. Serve the mahi-mahi and roasted bok choy hot, drizzled generously with the scallion oil.
