Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice, divided
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh mint leaves, divided
1/2 cup sugar
5 teaspoons fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)*
3 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel, divided
1 teaspoon hot chili paste (such as sambal oelek)*
3 tablespoons corn oil
2/3 cup finely chopped lemongrass** (bottom 3 inches of about 6 stalks)
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
6 banana leaves, each leaf cut into 10-inch-wide, 20-inch-long piece** or six 10-inch-wide, 20-inch-long pieces of parchment paper
6 6-ounce halibut fillets (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches thick)
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter,divided

Steps:

  • Stir 1 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup mint, sugar, fish sauce, 1 teaspoon lemon peel, and chili paste in small bowl until sugar dissolves. Set Thai lemon-mint sauce aside.
  • Mix remaining 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1 cup mint, and 2 teaspoons lemon peel in small bowl. Set mint topping aside.
  • Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add lemongrass and shallots and sauté until shallots are slightly softened and golden, about 6 minutes. Cool.
  • Place 1 banana leaf or parchment sheet on work surface. Place 2 tablespoons cooled shallot-lemongrass mixture in center of banana leaf. Place 1 fish fillet on lemongrass mixture on banana leaf. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Top with 1 tablespoon butter; spoon 2 tablespoons mint topping over. Fold 1 short side of banana leaf over fish. Fold long sides in. Roll up to completely enclose fish. Repeat with remaining banana leaves, shallot-lemongrass mixture, fish, butter, and mint topping.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Place fish packets on rimmed baking sheet and roast until fish is opaque in center, about 10 minutes. Unwrap fish and serve with Thai lemon-mint sauce.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest fish possible. This will ensure that your dish is as flavorful as possible.
  • Make sure to season the fish well with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the natural flavor of the fish.
