Snoek Braai

Ingredients

Snoek fish

1 whole, cleaned (about 2-3 pounds)

Apricot jam

1/2 cup

Garlic

4 cloves, minced

Unsalted butter

1/4 cup, melted

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro)

for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the grill for medium-high heat. If using charcoal, let the coals burn down until they are covered with white ash.
2. In a small bowl, combine the apricot jam, minced garlic, melted butter, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the basting sauce.
3. Place the cleaned snoek on a large piece of aluminum foil or on a clean grill grate.
4. Baste the snoek generously with the apricot mixture, making sure to coat both sides.
5. Grill the snoek for about 10-12 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste occasionally with the remaining sauce during grilling.
6. Once cooked, remove the snoek from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
7. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
