Ingredients
| 3 medium cloves garlic | ||
| Cooking spray | ||
| 4 | 6-ounce, 3/4-inch-thick red snapper fillets with skin | |
| 1⁄4 | t | red pepper flakes |
| 1 | large scallion | |
| 2 | T | roasted sesame oil |
| 1 | T | reduced-sodium |
| soy sauce |
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F. Mince garlic to make 1 tablespoon. Place an 18- by 24-inch sheet of foil on a cookie sheet and spray with cooking spray. Place fillets in a single layer in the center. Evenly sprinkle garlic and pepper flakes on both sides of fish; leave skin side up. Fold foil in half over fish, leaving a little headspace, then fold to seal edges. Bake 10 minutes or until fish just flakes when tested with a fork.
As fish roasts, thinly slice scallion to make 1/3 cup. In a small skillet, heat oil on high until hot but not smoking. Add scallions and cook 30 seconds, or until just wilted. Set aside. Using a slotted spatula, transfer fillets to plates. Evenly distribute scallions and sesame oil over fish and drizzle with soy sauce.
