👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Prepare the fish: Make shallow scores on both sides of the fish. In a small bowl, mix lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, sea salt, and a tablespoon of olive oil (optional). Rub this mixture all over the fish, ensuring it gets into the scores.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Using a banana leaf to grill imparts a subtle, smoky flavor. - 2
Prepare the banana leaves by quickly passing them over an open flame or hot surface to soften them, making them pliable for wrapping.

Place each seasoned fish onto a softened banana leaf. Wrap the fish securely, creating a packet. If needed, use foil to further secure the packets.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Ensure the banana leaf completely encases the fish to keep it moist during grilling. - 4
Prepare the coconut rice: Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Rinsing the rice removes excess starch, leading to fluffier grains. - 5
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Using full-fat coconut milk will yield a richer, creamier rice. - 6
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

While the rice cooks, grill the fish packets over medium-high heat for about 15-20 minutes, turning once, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the fish. - 8
Once cooked, let the fish rest for a few minutes before carefully unwrapping. Fluff the coconut rice with a fork.
