Cod Baked in Foil with Ginger and Spring Onion

2

10 mins

Flaky cod steamed in foil parcels with fresh ginger, garlic, spring onions and crunchy green vegetables in a light soy and sesame sauce. Everything cooks together in 20 minutes, sealing in all the flavour. The cod and edamame give plenty of lean protein to keep you full, with lots of fibre and very little fat.

Ingredients
  • 300g green vegetables, such as sugar snap peas and broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 200g frozen edamame beans (or frozen peas)
  • 2 cod fillets (around 280g), or any white fish, fresh or frozen and defrosted
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced (or ½ tsp garlic granules)
  • 2.5cm piece of ginger, sliced into thin rounds
  • 4 spring onions, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or mirin)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
Needed kitchenware
Instructions

1.

Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).

2.

Lay 2 large sheets of foil or baking paper on a baking tray. Divide the green vegetables and edamame between them, and place a cod fillet on top of each.

3.

Scatter over the garlic, ginger and half the spring onions.

4.

Mix the soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil, and spoon it over the fish.

5.

Fold the foil over and seal the edges to make loose parcels, leaving space inside for the steam.

6.

Bake until the fish is opaque and flakes easily (15–18 minutes).

7.

Open the parcels carefully, as hot steam will escape, and scatter with the remaining spring onions.
