Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
  2. Blend the marinade ingredients until smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Put the fish in a bowl, pour over half the marinade and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. If using banana leaves, soak them in boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes until pliable. Trim the tough fibrous edge along the top.
  5. For banana leaf parcels: place 1/2 cup cooked rice on each leaf, top with 2 lemon slices, then the fish, then 1 to 2 spoonfuls of the remaining marinade. Fold in the sides and secure with twine or strips of leaf.
  6. For parchment parcels: cut a large sheet of parchment about 16.5 x 22 inches, fold it in half and trim the edges into a heart shape. Open it, and on one half place 1/2 cup cooked rice, 2 lemon slices, the fish, then 1 to 2 spoonfuls of the remaining marinade. Fold closed and crimp the rounded edges to seal.
  7. Place the parcels on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 400°F (204°C).
  8. Unwrap, garnish and serve.
