Achiote-Grilled Fish - Rick Bayless

Name: Achiote-Grilled Fish - Rick Bayless
Ingredients: 1/2 of a 3.5-ounce package achiote seasoning paste (I’ve had good luck with El Yucateco brand); 1/3 cup fresh lime juice; Salt; A 3-pound fish, scaled, gutted, fins cut off, —a striped bass, seabass, snapper, grouper, yellowtail, cod or black cod OR 4 5- to 6-ounce boneless fish fillets (I prefer skin-on for added flavor); A few tablespoons olive or vegetable oil; A piece of banana leaf (fillets will take a piece that’s about 12 inches square, a butterflied whole fish will need a piece big enough to cover it); A couple of limes, cut into wedges; About 1 1/2 cups Xnipec Salsa; About a cup Pickled Red Onions (optional but recommended)
