Step 1

Place a piece of foil large enough to wrap up the whole fish

Step 2

Quickly run the banana leaf over a flame on the stove to soften it. Place it on top of the foil.  Place the whole fish on the banana leaf.

Step 3

Mix together the soy sauce and the sesame oil in a small bowl.  Using a basting brush, cover the underside of the fish on the banana leaf with a bit of the sauce. Also brush the cavity of the fish as well.

Step 4

Using a sharp knife, make a few slices into the flesh about 1/2 " thick to make a space to place the thin slices of garlic, ginger and kaffir lime leaf.

Step 5

Place the extra lime leaf and garlic and ginger into the cavity of the fish. Brush the top of the fish with more sauce.

Step 6

Wrap the whole fish in the banana leaf and then foil so you have a nice package.

Step 7

Turn the grill on to medium high heat and cook for approx 15 minutes turning over once.  Check for a nice tender flaky fish making certain not to overcook it.  Serve with white rice and flavor the rice with any leftover sauce.Garnish with some lime slices.
