Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Clean and gut the fish, then pat dry with paper towels.

Blend onion, garlic, ginger, bell pepper, tomato, lime juice, and spices to create a marinade.

Rub the marinade generously over the fish, ensuring it is well coated.

Place the fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through and flaky.

Peel the plantains and slice them diagonally into thick pieces.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the plantain slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove the fried plantains and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

For grilled plantains, place the remaining slices on a grill over medium heat.

Grill the plantains for 2-3 minutes on each side until charred and tender.

Serve the grilled fish alongside the fried and grilled plantains, garnished with green onions.
