Steps
- 1Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- 2Prep the sauce to lay over. In a bowl add the poblano and green onions. Add 4 tablespoons of the oil and salt and pepper. Toss together and set aside.
- 3Prep the Banana Leaves. Lay out the banana leaves over a large cutting board or sheet pan.
- 4Fill the Banana Leaves. Place two to three orange slices in the middle of the banana leaves and a fillet of fish on top of the oranges.
- 5Season and Dress the Fish. Drizzle each piece of fish with 1 tablespoon of oil on both sides. Evenly season the fish with the sazon, creole spice, salt and pepper. Making sure to season both sides. Evenly distribute the green onion and poblano mixture to the top of the fish. Then top each one with capers.
- 6Close the Banana Leaves. Fold over the banana leaves on the sides, then fold over the leaves on the top and bottom making a little packet. You can hold it together with kitchen twine or a thin piece of banana leaf. Even simpler is to place the packet with the folded side down. The weight of the fish will hold everything together.
- 7Bake It. Place the 4 packets on top of a sheet pan an bake in the oven for 25 minutes. (If your fish is very thick, such as a very thick seabass, go ahead and bake it for an additional 5 minutes.)
- 8Serve It. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Serve each packet onto a plate folded side up. Top with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lime.
