Ingredients

  • 2 corvina fish fillets 5 ounces each
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt I use Diamond Crystal
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper a few grinds of the peppermill
  • 1 lime
  • Cajun seasoning optional

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to 425°F / 220°C.
  • Remove fish from refrigerator and allow to come to room temp for 10 minutes while grill is heating.
  • Slice half of the lime into wheels, reserving the other half.
  • Squeeze lime juice from remaining half over the fillets, then season fish with salt and pepper (or Cajun blend, if using). Place lime wheels on top of fish.
  • Using tongs, quickly place banana leaves on the grill and then place corvina fillets on top of leaves.
  • Cook for 8 - 10 minutes, maintaining the temp on the grill. If it gets too hot, do not open the lid - simply turn down the flame or crack the lid, if necessary.
  • Remove corvina from the grill and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Discard banana leaves.
