Ingredients:

• 1 whole Snoek fish
• 4-6 ripe apricots, pitted and sliced
• 2 tablespoons apricot jam
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish

Directions:

1. Prepare the Snoek fish by cleaning and scaling it. Make diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish to allow the flavors to penetrate.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the apricot jam, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Place the Snoek fish in a large dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it coats both sides. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
4. Preheat your braai (barbecue) to medium-high heat.
5. Remove the fish from the marinade and place it on a braai grid or a fish grilling basket. Keep the marinade aside for basting.
6. Grill the Snoek fish over the medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and has a golden-brown color.
7. While grilling, baste the fish with the reserved marinade to keep it moist and add extra flavor.
