Ingredients

  • 2 kg snapper, skin-on (descaled + pin bones removed)
  • 100 g harissa paste 
  • 100 g toum ( or use store-bought)
  • 40 g pomegranate molasses
  • 30 ml lemon juice  
  • 10 g flaked salt
Pomegranate & pine nut dressing 
  • 1 whole pomegranate, seeds only
  • 30 ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • 30 g pine nuts 
  • ½ bunch parsley, picked and washed
  • ½ bunch coriander, picked and washed 
  • 5 g flaked salt
  • 30 ml lemon juice
  • 20 ml verjuice
Resting time 30 minutes

Instructions

  1. To create a baste for the snapper, whisk together the harissa, toum, pomegranate molasses and lemon juice.
  2. Clean your snapper fillet by removing the wing and any sinew in the flesh, and check for any scales. 
  3. Ideally 30 minutes before cooking, lightly oil the skin side of the snapper and season with salt.  
  4. Prepare and preheat the barbecue for indirect cooking over medium heat (190°C to 230°C). If desired, place a large perforate Grill pan on the cooking grill, in the indirect zone to preheat (this will make it easy to manoeuvre your snapper off the barbecue).
  5. Once the barbecue has preheated, place the snapper, skin side down on the grill pan and using a pastry brush cover the flesh side with the harissa paste. Roast the snapper over indirect medium heat for 25 to 30 minutes, or until cooked through.  
  6. Keep brushing harissa paste on the snapper while it cooks every 10 minutes, or so.
  7. While the snapper is cooking, make the pomegranate & pine nut dressing. Combine all ingredients together in a bowl.
  8. Once the fish is cooked through, remove it from the barbecue and place it onto a serving dish.
  9. Cover the fish with the pomegranate & pine nut dressing and serve.
