  • Preheat the oven to 356 °F.
  • On a chopping board and using knife and kitchen shears, butterfly the red snapper. Set aside in the fridge.
  • On a hot griddle over low heat, roast banana leaves until softened and set aside.
  • For the adobo sauce: In a blender, combine guajillo chile, garlic, tomato, onion, oregano, melted butter, lime juice, orange juice, vinegar, allspice berries, clove, and cumin and blend to a smooth adobo sauce. Set aside.
  • For the green sauce: In a blender, combine onion, garlic, chiles, lime juice, butter, oregano, and salt and blend to a smooth sauce.
  • In a clay baking dish, place the roasted banana leaf. Place red snapper on top. Brush half of the fish with adobo sauce and half of the fish with green sauce. Bake for 30 minutes or 10 minutes for every 2.2 pounds of fish. Brush with each sauce while baking if needed. Remove from oven. Garnish red and green baked snapper with orange wheels and red onion and serve with tortillas and limes.
