Steamed Ginger Mahi Mahi with Roasted Bok Choy

About

I love all the delicious flavors from the tamari, ginger and garlic that perfume the fish during the baking process. The fish is gently placed on top of sliced ginger and garlic and is steamed using the oven in foil packets. Bok choy is sliced in half and placed cut side down onto a hot sheet tray to create a beautiful roasted color. Then the dish is tied together with a tangy and salty scallion oil. To easily make this dish paleo, replace the tamari with coconut aminos. The recipe says 9 oz of Mahi Mahi but this is the cooked weight for nutritional purposes. Start with three 4 oz raw fillets.

Ingredients

9 ounce seafood fish fillets mahi-mahi by freshdirect
3 clove garlic
5 slice – 1" diameter ginger
1 tablespoon tamari sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
5 large green onions
2 tablespoon avocado oil
½ teaspoon rice vinegar
⅛ teaspoon coarse kosher salt by morton
¼ teaspoon tamari sauce
8 1 stir fry baby shanghai boy choy
1 tablespoon avocado oil
¾ tablespoon tamari sauce

Instructions

Preheat an oven to 400F. Using three nice sized pieces of foil, place thinly sliced ginger and garlic down into each piece of foil.
Top each with a piece of fish then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of tamari and 1 tablespoon of sesame seed oil (so 1 teaspoon of each for each foil packet). Sprinkle each fillet with a little pinch of salt as well. Close the foil packet completely.
In a small non-stick saute pan, heat the avocado oil until hot. Add in thinly sliced scallions. Cook for 30 seconds and then remove from the heat by placing scallions in a cool bowl.
Add in ½ t rice vinegar, ⅛ t kosher salt, and ¼ t tamari. Stir to combine and set aside.
Slice baby bok choy in half lengthwise and wash well.
Place foil packets onto a sheet tray and bake for 20 minutes (more or less depending on the thickness of the fish). Also place into the oven an empty sheet tray and allow it to get very hot. When there are 10 minutes left on the cooking time for the fish. Remove the hot sheet tray from the oven and pour on 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Place bok choy cut side down on the sheet tray and drizzle with ¾ tablespoon of tamari and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the fish and bok choy from the oven and serve together hot!
