Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) cod fillets
  • 1 cup chopped scallions
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely minced
    Zest and juice of 1 orange
  • 4 oranges, peeled and sliced
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Tear off 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place one cod fillet on each of the foil sheets. Season fish with salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the scallions, coconut aminos, sesame oil, ginger, and the zest and juice of 1 orange. Pour on top of the cod fillets, distributing the dressing evenly between the four pieces of fish.
Top each fillet with a 3-4 orange slices. Fold the ends of the foil together tightly, making sure the packets are completely sealed. Place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the cod for 12-14 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes apart. Remove the packets from the oven, and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
