1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
6 heads baby bok choy
2 tablespoons Big Batch Spicy Tamari Dipping Sauce (recipe below), divided
2 tablespoons raw, unsalted peanuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 375°F. Season cod on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.

Cut a 12­inch square of parchment paper, and fold it in half lengthwise. Cut the halved parchment into a crescent so that it is in the shape of a heart when you unfold it. Place the parchment heat, unfolded, on a large rimmed baking sheet.

Pile raw shallots and raw bok choy into the center of one half of the parchment, then lay the fish on top. Pour 1 tablespoon dipping sauce over the fish. Then, fold one half of the parchment heart on top of the other, and seal with small, overlapping folds, starting at the crook of the heart and working down to the tip.

Put sealed parchment packet on the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12­14 minutes, until fish is cooked through.

To serve, transfer parchment packet to a plate and carefully cut open the parchment. Drizzle with remaining dipping sauce, and sprinkle on the chopped peanuts.
