snoek fish

🥗Healthier: grilled mackerel

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil offers healthier fats and margarine is often cheaper.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flaxseed meal can replace eggs in binding for a vegan option.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Clean and prepare the snoek fish, removing any scales and entrails.

Season the fish with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Grill the fish for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through and flaky.

Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.

Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them in a bowl until smooth.

In a separate bowl, sauté onions and garlic in butter until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Combine the mashed sweet potatoes with sautéed onions, flour, baking powder, cumin, coriander, and eggs.

Mix until well combined and form into small cakes.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the sweet potato cakes until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Serve the grilled snoek alongside the sweet potato cakes, garnished with fresh herbs.
