Savor the taste of South Africa with this smoky, sweet Snoek fish marinated in a rich blend of brown sugar and soy sauce. Ideal for a weekend grill or a special family gathering, it’s a dish that brings everyone together.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg Snoek fish
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 lemon lemons

Method

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix the brown sugar and soy sauce to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Place the Snoek fish fillets in the marinade and let them soak for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).

  3. 3

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Remove the fish from the marinade and sprinkle with black pepper and garlic powder, if using.

  5. 5

    Grill the Snoek for about 10-15 minutes on each side, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

  6. 6

    Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve with lemon wedges on the side and enjoy as a hearty breakfast or brunch dish.
