Ingredients
  • 4 sheets of parchment paper cut into 15 inch squares
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh red chili pepper, thinly sliced (holland, fresno or jalapeno chili)
  • 1 orange (cut crosswise into eight thin slices)
  • 3 heads baby bok choy, stalks separated, washed and drained, (about 24)
  • 4 fillets sea bass or other firm fleshed white fish, boned (5oz)
  • 8 sprigs fresh cilantro
  • Directions
  • 1.

    Preheat oven to 425F. Place 2 rimmed sheet pans in oven to preheat.

  • 2.

    Mix hoisin, orange juice, olive oil and chilies in a small bowl and set aside.

  • 3.

    Fold four 15-inch squares of parchment in half crosswise, and cut each piece to make a large rounded heart shape. Open each parchment heart and arrange 2 orange slices in the middle of one side. Divide bok choy evenly and place on top of orange slices. Season sea bass with salt and pepper and set on top of bok choy. Spoon an equal amount of hoisin mixture over each fish fillet, then place 2 sprigs of cilantro on top of fish. Fold parchment paper over to enclose fish. Beginning at the widest part of the heart, begin making small overlapping folds, working along the edge to seal. Crimped edges can also be stapled if there is any difficulty in keeping edges closed.

  • 4.

    Carefully transfer packets to heated sheet pans using a large spatula. Bake in centre of oven until fish is cooked through and the packets are puffed and golden brown, about 15 to18 minutes. Transfer to plates and serve immediately, cutting packets open at the table. Use caution, as the steam will be hot.
