I would use Ikan Pepes Banana Leaf Fish (Indonesia) when I wanted something lighter without it feeling like a compromise. The method reads clearly.

Ikan Pepes Banana Leaf Fish (Indonesia) had the sort of clean fish flavour I want from a healthier recipe. It felt connected to Indonesia but still practical at home.
