    Title: St. Lawrence Market Banana Leaf Roasted Grouper
    Categories: Seafood, Citrus, Herbs
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 lb (1kg) grouper fillets;
    - skinned, all bones removed
    1 pk Banana leaves
    1 Lemon; sliced as thin as
    - possible
    1 Lime; sliced as thin as
    - possible
    8 Allspice berries
    8 Sprigs cilantro
    8 Sprigs of thyme
    4 Sprigs of dill
    1/4 c (60 ml) olive oil
    Coarse salt & fresh ground
    - black pepper

    Heat oven to 450ºF/230ºC. Place a wire rack on a sheet
    pan.

    Slice the grouper it to four 8 oz (250 g) portions. If
    you need to use a couple of smaller pieces to make up
    the weight, that's fine.

    Cut each banana leaf in a 12" x 12" (30 x 30 cm) square
    and place it flat. In the center of the banana leaf
    place a few slices of lemon and lime. To this add 2
    allspice berries, 2 sprigs of cilantro, 2 sprigs of
    thyme and 1 sprig of dill. Place the grouper on top and
    season with olive oil, salt and pepper. Fold the bottom
    and top of the banana leaf together and pinch one end.

    Tie with a scrap piece of banana leaf or string. From
    the open end push the grouper tight against the tied
    end. Pinch and tie the remaining end closed. Repeat with
    remaining portions. Transfer to the prepared sheet pan
    and roast on the middle rack of the oven until firm to
    the touch, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the heat,
    rest for 3-4 minutes and serve.
