How To Make Braai’d Snoek with Sticky Jalapeño Chutney
Glaze
- Prep your braai and lightly grease the grid to prevent the snoek skin from sticking.
- Lay the flecked snoek skin-side down on the greased grid.
- In a small pot on the stove, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the crushed garlic and sauté for a minute or two until fragrant.
- Then, add the apricot jam, Mrs Balls Jalapeño Chutney, and lemon juice to the pot, whisking until everything combines into a smooth, sticky glaze.
- Let the glaze simmer gently for about 10 minutes, whisking occasionally, until slightly reduced and glossy.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let the glaze cool for 5–10 minutes.
- Generously baste the snoek with the glaze, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Place the grid over medium coals, set to the highest grid setting, and braai the snoek skin-side down for about 15–20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily.
- Serve hot — straight off the grid, with your fingers, just the way it should be!
