Preparation

Make the marinade: mix the sliced onion, diced tomato, chili, lemon juice and oil.
Place each fish fillet on a softened banana leaf (pass it over a flame for a few seconds so it does not tear when folded).
Coat each fillet with marinade, fold the leaf into a tight parcel and tie it if needed.
Steam or grill the parcels over embers for 25-30 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and well infused with the leaf's flavour.
Serve directly in the opened leaf at the table, with rice or fufu.
