Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped lime leaves, sliced ginger, minced garlic, red and green bell peppers, and half of the chopped cilantro.
  3. Lay out two large pieces of parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  4. Place a fish fillet in the center of each parchment paper.
  5. Evenly divide the prepared mixture from step 2 over the two fish fillets.
  6. In another small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice.
  7. Drizzle this sauce mixture over each fish fillet.
  8. Fold the parchment paper or foil around the fish to create sealed parcels. Ensure they’re tightly sealed to trap in the steam and flavors.
  9. Place the Thai fragrant fish parcels on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
  10. Check for doneness – the fish should flake easily with a fork.
  11. Carefully open the parcels and sprinkle the remaining cilantro on top before serving.

Pro Tips

  1. White fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia are perfect for this recipe.
  2. Make sure the parcels are sealed well to ensure the fish steams perfectly, absorbing the Thai fragrant flavors.
  3. If you want to add some heat, consider including a finely chopped chili pepper to the mix.
  4. Always use fresh lime juice for the best flavor – bottled just doesn’t compare.
