How to Make Asian Style Snapper Bream In Banana Leaves

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a BBQ, prepare for indirect heat.
2. Clean and scale the fish. If using whole fish, score the skin in a few places to allow for even cooking.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and chili flakes.
4. Place the banana leaves on a work surface. Place a fish fillet (or half of a whole fish) on each leaf.
5. Pour the marinade generously over each fish, ensuring it's well coated.
6. Add your favorite Asian-style vegetables to the banana leaves, such as sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and onions.
7. Fold the banana leaves over the fish and vegetables, creating sealed parcels. Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
8. If baking, place the parcels on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. If grilling, cook on a covered BBQ with indirect heat for 20-30 minutes, checking for doneness.
9. Carefully remove the parcels from the oven or BBQ, let them rest for a few minutes, and then serve immediately. Enjoy!
