method
1. Make three to four diagonal slashes on either side of the cleaned fish and place it in a non-metallic dish.
2. To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Coat the salmon well with the marinade, then cover and chill for at least 8 hours, or overnight, turning it occasionally.
3. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan oven/Gas Mark 6. Place the salmon on a large piece of foil in a roasting tin, spoon a little of the marinade over the top and loosely wrap the foil around the fish. Cook for 35 to 40 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through.
4. Open the foil and place the fish under a hot grill for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden. Cool and chill the salmon until required.
5. Arrange the banana leaves on a serving plate and place the salmon on top. Garnish with lime wedges, then serve.
