LITTLE FISH CAKES IN BANANA LEAVES

Steps:

• Cut the fish into 8 chunks, season them with salt and place in a nonreactive pan or bowl large enough to hold the chunks in a single layer. Spread the seafood marinade evenly over the fish, cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• Place each chunk of fish in the center of a piece of banana leaf. Top each with a basil leaf and sprinkle with minced lime leaves. Fold the edges of the banana leaves over the fish to form small parcels. Fasten the loose ends with a toothpick.
• Fill the bottom of a steamer with water almost to, but not touching, the rack and bring to a boil. Place the parcels on the rack and steam, covered, for 15 minutes.
• When ready to serve, prepare a charcoal grill. Place the parcels on the grill and cook for 5 minutes, or until the banana leaves are evenly browned. To eat, unwrap the parcels to expose the fish. (Do not eat the banana leaf.)
