Prepare the banana leaves by gently warming them over an open flame or in a hot oven for a few minutes until they become pliable. This prevents them from cracking when folded.

Score the cleaned fish on both sides with a few diagonal cuts. Rub the marinade all over the fish, ensuring it gets into the cuts. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
