This is a wonderful recipe that my friend shared with me.
I have fixed it at least 6 times. I have always used salmon and it has been perfectly done. I took it to some friends tonight
and they called and said they could've licked their plates:)

Asian Fish in a Packet

2 firm fish fillets or steaks (5-6 oz. each), or 1 larger fillet (10 -12 oz.), cut in half
1 cp cooked rice
2 cps coarsely chopped mustard greens or bok choy (I used kale)
2 scallions, chopped
1 Tbls vegetable oil
1 tsp grated fresh ginger root
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
2 Tbls soy sauce
2 tsps dark sesame oil
chili oil (optional) I did not use.

Preheat the oven to 450*

Take two 12 x 14 inch sheets of alum foil, and fold each sheet of foil over to make a double-thick square. Brush a little oil on the center part of each square. Rinse the fish & prepare all of the ingredients.

Spread half of the rice on the center of each foil square and then layer the greens, fish & scallions on top of the rice. In a small bowl, combine the vegetable oil, grated ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a few drops of the opt. chili oil. Pour half of the sauce over each serving. Fold the foil into airtight packets. Bake for 20 minutes. Carefully avoiding the steam that will be released, open a packet and check the the fish is cooked.

To serve, carefully open the foil and transfer the contents to plates or bowls.

Note: Water chestnuts, julienned daikon or turnips, or slices of fresh shiitake placed on the greens beneath the fish make a nice addition to this recipe.

Use just about any fish: scrod, turbot, haddock or other firm fillets. or fish steaks such as salmon.

In this cookbook there are also recipes for the Caribbean, French and Greek Fish in a Packet.

notes* I used tamari sauce GF in place of the soy sauce.
