Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F (180°C fan).
  • Prepare parcel – Place a 2 x 25cm / 10" piece of foil on a work surface. Top with a piece of parchment/baking paper slightly smaller. Place fish on paper.
  • Season fish & wrap – Sprinkle each side of the fish with a SMALL pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle the top of each fish with ½ teaspoon sake. Form a parcel – make a parcel with the paper first, then the foil.
  • Bake – Place parcels on a tray. Bake for 12 minutes or until internal temperature is 55°C/130°F or the fish flesh flakes.
  • Rest 3 min – Put each parcel on a plate and unwrap, folding down the sides to create a ’boat’. Rest for 3 minutes.
  • Heat oil until hot in a tiny saucepan or small pan over medium heat.
  • Sizzle! Top the fish with green onion, ginger, and chilli. Drizzle with soy and sesame oil. Pour hot oil all over the toppings.
  • Serve immediately. Eat fish out of foil, squishing the flaky pieces in the sauce before eating.

Notes

Use thinnish pieces of fish for better sizzling surface area. Frozen fish works well; thaw and pat dry before use. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
