- 1 long red chilli, deseeded, thinly sliced

- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons salt-reduced soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
- 1 clove garlic, crushed

Instructions
1 Line a heatproof dinner plate with a large sheet of baking paper. Place fish on paper in a single layer and sprinkle with ginger, chilli and spring onions. Fold up paper to enclose.
