Snapper in Banana Leaf Packets image

The banana leaves seal in moisture and impart a delicious aroma and taste to anything cooked in them. You can find banana leaves in the frozen foods aisle of most grocery stores, where the frozen Asian or Hispanic foods are. They normally come in a cello pack, about 12x12 inches - perfect for this dish!

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Tbsp mayonnaise
4 skinless snapper fillets (6 oz each), can sub tilapia
4 large banana leaves, 12 inches square
4 oz shimeji mushrooms (or enoki, or sliced button mushrooms)
2 oz ginger root, peeled and julienned
2 tsp soy sauce
DIPPING SAUCE:
1/4 c dijon mustard
1/4 c maggi seasoning sauce
1 tsp sriracha sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • 2. Brush 1 tablespoon mayo over each fish fillet. Place each fillet in the center of a square of banana leaf. Sprinkle the ginger julienne over each fillet, then add 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce over each fillet. Fold the sides of the leaf over the fish, then do the opposite side. Flip each packet over so the seams are on the bottom and place in a baking dish.
  • 3. For the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a bowl.
  • 4. Bake for 30 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with sauce and hot steamed rice.
