2teaspoonskosher or coarse salt, plus more to season the fish
6Banana leaves, stems removed
1whole 3-poundfish, red snapper or snook,, scaled and gutted
Ground black pepper to taste
1/2cupdried oregano leaves
2cupspacked fresh mint leaves
1cupfresh epazote leaves
To Prepare
Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium-high heat.
To make the "mojo," place the garlic, cilantro leaves, bitter orange juice, olive oil and salt in a molcajete and mash into a paste. Alternatively, you may add these ingredients to a food processor or blender and process until fully combined but still chunky.
To make a wrap for the fish, arrange the banana leaves overlapping on a work surface. Season the fish all over with salt and pepper, and place in the center of the leaves. Pour the "mojo" over both sides of the fish, then top with the oregano, mint and epazote. Fold the banana leaves over fish to cover and tie or tuck leaves around fish to enclose.
Place the fish on the grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, then turn and continue to cook for another 15 to 20 minutes until the fish is cooked through. To serve, unfold leaves and filet the fish.
