Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs flounder, sole or 1 1/2 lbs other flaky white fish
1/3 cup scallion, cut into 1-inch lengths
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2

Tear 4 lengths of parchment paper or foil, each about 18 inches long. Fold each length across in half and unfold. On 1/2 of each piece of paper place 1/4 of the fish. Top each piece of fish with 1/4 of the scallions.
3

Whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce and honey until the honey is dissolved. Drizzle over the fish; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Crimp or fold over the edges to form a sealed packet. Repeat forming 4 packets. Place them on 2 baking sheets.
4

Bake in the center of the oven for about 13 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the packets are puffed. Remove from the oven and transfer a packet to each plate. Cut the top of the packets and open carefully to avoid the escaping steam and serve the fish in the open packets.
5

Or, if you serve the fish with a side dish that will benefit from the addition of the tasty fish juice, empty the fish and sauce onto your plate!
