Jerk snapper

Method

1. Put all the ingredients for the jerk sauce into a food processor and blend until smooth.

2. Place the snapper in a large shallow dish; pour over the sauce, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 24 hours, turning the fish every now and then.

3. Cook the snapper in a griddle pan over a medium heat for 8 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden and cooked through. Alternatively, cook on a barbecue. Serve straight away with rice and peas.
