How to braai snoek with apricot jam for a sticky caramelised glaze

While there are plenty of ways to prepare it, braai snoek with apricot jam remains one of the country's favourite combinations.

While there are plenty of ways to prepare it, braai snoek with apricot jam remains one of the country's favourite combinations.

The sweet glaze balances the naturally rich, slightly salty flavour of the fish, while the heat from the coals caramelises the jam into a sticky finish.

It doesn't need a long list of ingredients either. Butter, garlic, lemon juice and apricot jam do most of the work.
