Island Fish Recipes

Steps:

• Pat the fish dry and cut 3 small slits on each side of the fish. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 quart oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Carefully place the fish in the pan and fry until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Remove fish and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir onion, garlic and carrot into the pan; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes. Add thyme, allspice, habanero pepper, vinegar, water, salt, and sugar and continue cooking until onions have softened and liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes.
• Serve fish topped with onion mixture spooned over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven at 180° celsius.
• Butter a baking-dish.
• Put the fillets into the baking-dish.
• Season the fillets with salt, pepper and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
• Cover the fish with ground cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix dressing, jalapeno and ginger; set aside. Hold banana leaf with tongs and pass quickly across a stove burner on medium heat several times until banana leaf is pliable. (Do not overheat or leaf will become brittle.) Repeat with the remaining leaves. Line 13x9-inch baking pan with the softened leaves, with ends of leaves extending over sides of pan.
• Place fish in prepared baking pan; drizzle with the dressing mixture. Top with the coconut and limes. Fold banana leaves over fish. Top with an empty glass baking dish to hold leaves in place.
• Bake 20 min. or until fish is cooked through. Serve in baking pan.
