First you need to line a large roasting tray with the banana leaves. You do this by holding them over the hob so the whole leaf is warmed and softened (this makes it more pliable) and placing them in the tray so there is a large piece overlapping on all sides. You need to make sure there are no gaps.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Cod can be paired with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The GIFFT by Kathie Lee Gifford Pinot Grigio with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
