Ingredients
 

  • 2 Tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 4 Tablespoons Rice wine or Sherry
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 4 pieces (6-8 oz) Salmon Fillets
  • 3 inch fresh Ginger, peeled and thinly sliced then divided into 4 portions
  • A bunch of cilantro or 4 green Onions or Scallions, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 Celsius).
  • In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, and honey.
  • Cut up 4 pieces of parchment paper (or foil) measuring more or less 12 x 12 inches. In the middle of the paper where you will place the fish, sprinkle a little salt and pepper.
  • Place each salmon fillet in the middle of the prepared parchment. On top of the fish, place the sliced ginger and 3-4 cilantro sprigs or chopped green onions. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the soy-sesame sauce. Sprinkle a little more salt and pepper on top, if desired.
  • Bring the sides of the parchment paper towards the middle and then crimp the edges securely ensuring that no liquid drips out. This will also assure that no steam escapes from the paper while baking. Place the parchment packets in a baking sheet and transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes before opening the packets. Fish is done when it flakes easily. Serve immediately and enjoy it totally!
