Thai Red Curry Snapper in Banana Leaf

This Thai red curry snapper in banana leaf is a fragrant and flavourful seafood dish that brings the vibrant aromas of Thai cuisine to your table. Fresh snapper is coated in a rich, aromatic red curry paste, then wrapped in banana leaves and gently steamed or grilled until tender. The banana leaf helps lock in moisture as the fish cooks, keeping the flesh succulent while allowing the bold flavours of the curry to infuse every bite.

The combination of spicy red curry, savoury seasoning and subtle sweetness creates a beautifully balanced marinade that complements the snapper’s delicate, flaky texture. Cooking the fish in banana leaf also adds a gentle, earthy aroma and makes for an impressive presentation when each parcel is opened at the table.

Perfect for a special occasion or an elevated weeknight dinner, this Thai-style red curry snapper is a delicious way to explore the fresh, aromatic flavours of Thai cooking. Serve the fish straight from its banana leaf parcel with fragrant jasmine rice and fresh herbs for a vibrant seafood meal that is as visually striking as it is satisfying.
