Fish and seafood
Indonesian pepes ikan, fish wrapped in banana leaves, is traditionally steamed; this recipe uses an air fryer to achieve the same moist, spice-infused result in less time. The key technique is folding the leaf tightly so the filling does not leak out.
Blend the garlic cloves, ginger, red pepper, lemon juice, and salt into a smooth paste.
Coat the sea bass fillet pieces with the spice paste and arrange the tomato slices on top.
Wrap the softened banana leaf tightly around the fish and secure the ends with toothpicks.
Place the packets in the air fryer basket and cook for 18 minutes.
Briefly pass the banana leaf over a flame to soften it; otherwise, it may crack when folded and the filling can leak out. Allergen: The ingredient list includes fish. Check product labels for other allergens in packaged ingredients.
