Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spread the paint liberally on the curved side of the fillets (paint on the skin side). Heat a large cast-iron skillet until almost smoking. Add the peanut oil and carefully lay the fish in the skillet, paint or skin side down. Shake the pan a few times to prevent the fish from sticking. Cook the fish until dark on the painted side, about 2 minutes. Turn the fish over and drain the oil from the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 7 to 9 minutes (15-20 minutes for chicken).

Warm the mojo through the ladle about 1/2 cup onto each serving plate. Remove the fish from the oven and place the fillets on top of the mojo. Serve with the plaintains and a wedge of lime.

Note 1 eep an eye on the plantains as they get close to done, because they will burn easily if unattended.

Note 2 nstead of chicken breast halves, Or 4 black grouper fillets (or dolphin fish or red snapper), about 8 ounces each
