Toast 3 greens of Salem in a hot pan on medium heat until blended.

Blend the toasted greens with African nut mil, country onion, and Bush pepper until smooth.

Blend leeks, onion, and parsley, then add ginger and garlic paste.

Add vegetable oil, hot pepper paste, seasoning powder, and salt to the blended mixture.

Make deep slits on the gutted and cleaned Pomano fish.

Marinate the fish by rubbing the marinade all over the body, head, and belly.

Grill the fish on a barbecue grill for 10 minutes on each side, applying more marinade after flipping to keep it moist.

Microwave the remaining marinade to avoid using raw marinade on cooked fish, or simmer on medium heat with a little water.

Serve the grilled fish with Balo and pepper sauce.
