- 4 large Banana leaves(warmed to soften)
- 2 inch pieces Fresh ginger(thinly sliced)
- 4 cloves Garlic(thinly sliced)

👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make several ½-inch deep cuts along the sides of each fish.
- 2
Gently run the banana leaves over a low flame or hot burner to soften them. This prevents cracking when wrapping.
- 3
Place a softened banana leaf on a clean surface or baking sheet. Place one fish on top of the leaf.
- 4
Stuff the sliced ginger, garlic, and kaffir lime leaves into the cuts on the fish and into the cavity.
- 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and sesame oil. Brush half of this mixture over the fish and into the cavity.
- 6
Sprinkle the fish with salt to taste. Brush the remaining soy sauce and sesame oil mixture over the top of the fish.
- 7
Carefully wrap the fish completely in the banana leaf, creating a sealed package. You can secure with kitchen twine if needed.
- 8
Grill the wrapped fish over medium-high heat for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning once, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Alternatively, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.
- 9
Carefully unwrap the fish. Garnish with sliced scallions if desired and serve immediately with lime wedges.
