ASIAN TROUT BUNDLES

My friend Denise says this trout recipe is on her weeknight dinner rotation; and it's one of her husband's favorite meals - EAT, LAUGH, LOVE evans-eatlaughlove.blogspot.com

Marinade:
4 green onions, cut into thin diagonal slices
1 large sweet red pepper, cored, seeded, julienne cut
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. red-wine vinegar
2 tsp. dark Asian sesame oil
2 tsp. grated fresh ginger or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 cup light soy
4 trout fillets, about 6 ounces each
4 tsp. sesame seeds

Combine the first 8 ingredients and put in large Ziploc bag with the trout. Marinate in the refrigerator for two hours (I’ve done as little as 30 minutes). Reserve marinade.
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Tear off four 14 x 12-in. sheets of aluminum foil. Arrange each fillet on a piece of foil. Spoon reserved marinade over top of each fillet, dividing equally. Sprinkle each fillet with 1 tsp. sesame seeds. Fold top of foil over fish. Fold edges of foil over twice; crimp to seal tightly. Arrange packets on a baking sheet. Bake in heated 425 degree oven 10-12 minutes or until foil is puffed and fish is cooked through.
