Ingredients
1kg Food Lover’s Market Snoek, thawed
30ml (2 Tbsp) olive oil
45ml (3 Tbsp) orange marmalade
2 oranges
100g fresh baby fennel, sliced in half lengthwise
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Line a baking tray with foil and drizzle with olive oil.
Place the snoek opened up on the baking tray with the skin side down. Spread the orange marmalade on the snoek, followed by the zest and juice of 1 orange.
Season to taste and place the fennel around the snoek. Bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes.
While the snoek is in the oven, slice the second orange in rings and heat a non-stick frying pan with a dash of olive oil on a high heat. Sear the orange slices on one side only until browned or if preferred you can pack the slices on the fish to roast in the oven.
Serve the baked snoek and fennel and garnish with the browned orange slices.
