RED SNAPPER STEAMED IN BANANA LEAVES



Red Snapper Steamed in Banana Leaves image

I found this recipe in a Hispanic magazine dealing with Caribbean Seafood. The actual name of the recipe is Pargo Rojo Al Vapor en Hojas de Platano. Pargo is a fish very similar to the Atlantic Red Snapper. Banana leaves can be found frozen at most Asian markets. Caldo Maggie can be found in many grocery stores, but certainly in a Hispanic market or you can substitute soy sauce. The bananas impart a unique flavor to anything that's cooked in them. Enjoy!

Banana leaves are perfect for wrapping a whole fish and insulating all of the aromatic flavors of this dish during grilling. A quick green sauce loaded with herbs, ginger and fresh green chilies provides a cool and spicy kick for the meaty grilled fish.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups fresh cilantro
1 cup fresh mint
2 Thai bird chile peppers, stemmed and roughly chopped
1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, roughly chopped
1 scallion, roughly chopped
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
2 tablespoons sugar
Kosher salt
1/2 cup canned coconut milk
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons fish sauce
3 or 4 large banana leaves (at least 24 inches long), rinsed
Vegetable oil, for brushing
1 large whole red snapper (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), cleaned and scaled
Kosher salt
1 lime, sliced
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced into coins
4 Thai bird chile peppers, halved lengthwise
4 sprigs cilantro
4 sprigs mint

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Combine the cilantro, mint, chiles, ginger, scallion, coconut, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender and pulse to make a coarse paste. Add the coconut milk, lime juice, vegetable oil and fish sauce and blend to make a smooth, slightly thick sauce. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Make the fish: Preheat a grill to medium high. Lay the banana leaves on a work surface, overlapping each about halfway, so the leaves are large enough to wrap around the fish, with the tail and head sticking out slightly. Lightly brush the banana leaves with vegetable oil. Cut three 24-inch pieces of kitchen twine and run under water to moisten (this will prevent the twine from burning on the grill).
  • Make 2 or 3 slits crosswise on each side of the fish, cutting about 1/2 inch into the flesh. Season the fish inside and out with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt total. Stuff the lime and ginger slices, chiles, and cilantro and mint sprigs into the cavity of the fish. Set the fish at one short end of the banana leaves and roll it up, leaving the head and tail sticking out, then tie together in 3 places with the kitchen twine.
  • Once the grill registers 425˚ F to 450˚ F, grill the fish until the banana leaves are charred, about 12 minutes. Flip and grill until the fish is cooked through, 12 to 14 more minutes. (Because the fish is wrapped, it is difficult to test for doneness. The juices will run clear from the head and gills when poked.) Let the fish rest 5 minutes, then untie and remove the banana leaves. Lift the flesh from the bones and serve with the cilantro-mint sauce.

ASIAN STYLE SNAPPER/BREAM IN BANANA LEAVES



Asian Style Snapper/Bream in Banana Leaves image

You can make this with snapper or bream and it works equally as well, I have made with both, last night I made it with bream. Banana leaves a great way to cook fish especially if cooking the fish on the BBQ, I cooked it in the oven last night. I served this with Asian style vegetables and I cooked 2 fish,of about 750g a piece to serve 4 or if your fish are smaller you can cook 4 individual fillets. Cooking times are based on my oven temperature, not a BBQ and you will have to adjust if doing them on the BBQ, mine gets very hot and cooks about 5-10 Min's quicker on the BBQ, if cooking on the BBQ, cook with a covered BBQ, using indirect heat.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 large banana leaves (big enough to completely enclose fish.)
2 whole bream (750g a piece.) or 2 red snapper (750g a piece.)
1 1/2-2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1/2 stalk lemongrass, sliced thinly
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
60 ml sweet chili sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 teaspoons fresh grated gingerroot
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 medium red pepper, sliced thinly
1 carrot, cut into sticks
150 g asian cabbage
80 g snow peas
80 g red cabbage
200 g bean sprouts
4 green onions, sliced thinly
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (optional)
2 teaspoons light soy sauce (optional)
2 teaspoons lime juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Using tongs dip each banana leaf one by one into boiling water, remove immediately, rinse under cold water, dry thoroughly, leaves should be soft and pliable.
  • Cut each fish 3 times, place each fish on a leaf, top each fish with lemon grass and garlic.
  • Combine garlic, juice, sauces and oil, drizzle a little sauce over each fish reserving about 3-4 tablespoons for the vegeatbles.
  • Fold leaves over fish and secure with kitchen string. Place parcels in a pre-heated oven of 180 degress celsius and cook for 25-30 min's or until cooked through.
  • Alternativley which I love banana leaves for, cook on the BBQ, covered, using indirect heat for about 20-25 Min's. (I find it takes me 30 Min's in my oven and about 20 Min's on the BBQ, but I do have an extremely hot BBQ, I do not know how 4 smaller fish fillets affects the time as I have only cooked 2 larger fish.).
  • The banana leaves will get quite crispy and may even burn in places, they will stay quite moist underneath as the juices run from fish and sauce. For presentation purposes I keep 2 banana leaves to use as the base to serve fish on after.
  • Vegetables.
  • Heat olive oil in a wok or large pan, add garlic and ginger and stir fry until fragrant.
  • Add pepper, carrot and sesame oil, stir fry 2-3 Minutes, add both cabbages, peas, sprouts and reserved sauce. Stir fry until vegetables are just tender serve immediately with fish.
  • Extra sauce.
  • Just an optional extra if you prefer to have a little more sauce to drizzle over fish once served.
  • Combine the 3 ingredients in a small microwave safe bowl and microwave 30-45 seconds to just warm through.
  • To Serve: I place a banana leaf on a serving platter top with whole fish, I pour remaining juice and sauce from the bananan leaf fish was cooked in over fish, and arrange the vegetables around the fish, garnish with sliced onions.
