Method

Ingredients

1. Blend all the ingredients for the green and red sauces until smooth and set aside.

2. To make the snoek, preheat a grill. Lay the snoek skin-side down on a chopping board and pat dry with kitchen paper. 3 Using a sharp knife, score the flesh diagonally and sprinkle with salt.

4. Liberally cover one half of the fish with the red sauce and the other with the green sauce, making sure the sauce penetrates the fish well.

5. Brush the grill with oil and, once hot, place the snoek on the grill, marinated side down. Grill or braai for 10 minutes, or until the snoek is just cooked. Using a spatula, carefully turn the snoek onto a serving platter. Serve immediately with the lime wedges and warm flatbreads.
