Ingredients

Method
  • For the marinade:
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 4 olive oil
  • 2 T chilli flakes
  • 3 T honey
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 t fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 T soya sauce
  • A handful fresh coriander, chopped
  • For the fish:
  • 800 g lightly smoked snoek
  • Salad, for serving

Mix the lime juice, oil, chilli flakes, honey, garlic, ginger, soya sauce and coriander.

Pour the marinade over the fish on a ceramic platter. Cover with clingwrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Braai on a preheated grid over medium coals, skin side down, until flaky. Serve with salad.

Cook's note: Cooking the snoek skin side down helps to prevent it from drying out. Cover with the lid of a roasting pan to allow it to cook through.
