How to Make Banana leaves Leggings W/Chef Prez

pompano fish

🥗Healthier: tilapia

💰Cheaper: mackerel

Tilapia is a leaner option while mackerel is often less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Rinse the pompano fish under cold water and pat dry.

Season the fish inside and out with salt and black pepper.

Slice the ginger, garlic, and onion into thin pieces.

Lay the banana leaves flat and slightly wilt them over an open flame or in hot water to make them pliable.

Place the fish on the banana leaves and stuff it with ginger, garlic, onion, and tomatoes.

Drizzle soy sauce and lime juice over the fish.

Add bay leaves and red chili for extra flavor.

Wrap the fish securely in the banana leaves, folding the edges to seal it.

Place the wrapped fish on a baking tray and drizzle with a little cooking oil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before unwrapping.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
