Start with fresh ripe plantains and wash them thoroughly.

Peel the plantains and cut them into cubes for frying.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan until hot but not too hot to avoid burning the plantains.

Fry the plantain cubes in batches until golden brown, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Prepare the attieke by boiling water and mixing it with the attieke, adding salt and olive oil to prevent lumps.

Microwave the attieke mixture for 10 minutes, fluffing it with a fork afterward.

Wash the whole sea bass thoroughly with water and lemon juice, then pat it dry with a paper towel.

Prepare a marinade by blending fresh habanero peppers, green bell pepper, garlic, ginger, spring onions, crushed maggi cubes, lemon pepper, smoked paprika, rosemary, black pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, and distilled white vinegar.

Add half a tablespoon of soy sauce and a heaping tablespoon of French's yellow mustard to the marinade and mix well.

Make deep incisions on the sea bass to help it cook faster and absorb the marinade.

Rub the marinade all over the fish, ensuring it gets into the cuts, and let it marinate in the refrigerator.

Grill the marinated sea bass in the oven until cooked through and flaky.
