Instructions

1. Dress the snapper fillets with fish sauce and chopped coriander. Set aside and leave to marinade for 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, slice your sweet potato into 1-cm rounds and toss through 2 tbsp of olive oil. Season with salt.

3. Heat your barbecue or a large frypan over medium-low heat and grill in batches for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

4. Once the sweet potato is almost cooked, place remaining olive oil in a separate frying pan over medium-high heat, add the fillets and fry each side for 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through.

5. To eat, flake a little fish off and place it in the middle of a piece of sweet potato. Fold it in half and use as a wrap for the fish.
