Ingredients
Zest of 1/2 an orange
1 teaspoon peeled, minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 heads baby bok choy, ends trimmed and cut into thirds through the stem
1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 cup bean sprouts
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for brushing packets
1/3 cup diagonally thinly sliced scallions, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the orange zest, ginger, soy sauce, orange juice, vinegar, sesame oil and honey together in a small bowl; set aside.
- Fold 4 (16 by-12-inch) parchment paper squares in 1/2 lengthwise.
- Evenly divide the bok choy, bell peppers, and bean sprouts among the 4 parchment packets. Season the vegetables with 1 tablespoon sesame-ginger marinade. Place a salmon fillet on top of the vegetables and season with the black pepper and an additional tablespoon of the marinade.
- Fold the top half of the parchment over the fish, and overlap small folds along the open edge to seal. Brush each packet with olive oil. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the parchment paper puffs up.
- Transfer the parchment packets to plates. Carefully cut the packets open, avoiding the hot steam, and serve.
