Fresh grilled whole fish with herbs and vegetables on banana leaf, served with tropical dipping sauce.

Ingredients:
1 pound of white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)
1/4 cup of minced fresh ginger
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of honey
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a small bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make a marinade.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn the fish to coat it evenly with the marinade.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the baked ginger fish hot, with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
