Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or snapper)
• 8 tablespoons Sweet chilli sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 piece Lime (juiced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 piece Red chilli (thinly sliced, optional for extra spice)
• 2 stalks Spring onions (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 4 sheets Parchment paper or aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the sauce.

Step 3

Lay out the parchment paper or aluminum foil sheets on a flat surface. Lightly brush the center of each sheet with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Place one fish fillet in the center of each sheet, and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Pour 2 tablespoons of the sweet chilli sauce mixture over each fillet, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon to coat the fish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the sliced red chilli (if using) and spring onions over the top of the fillets.

Step 7

Carefully fold the parchment paper or foil over the fish to create a sealed parcel. Fold the edges tightly to lock in the steam and flavors.

Step 8

Place the parcels on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Carefully open the parcels (watch out for steam) and transfer the fish to serving plates.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve with steamed rice or a side of stir-fried vegetables.
