SWEET POTATO WEDGES
• 1 large sweet potato, cut into wedges
• 1.5 tbsp olive oil

METHOD
Preheat oven to 240C fan-forced. Toss sweet potato wedges in olive oil and smoked paprika. Season generously. Spread on a lined baking tray and roast for 25–30 minutes until crispy and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, make the tartare sauce by mixing mayonnaise, capers, cornichons, dill and onion.
• To make the crumb, mix panko, crushed macadamias, dried oregano and lemon zest together. Season with salt and pepper.
• Approximately five minutes before the sweet potato is cooked, heat oil and butter in a frying pan. Cook the snapper fillet, basting it with the melted butter/oil mixture until cooked through.
• Remove cooked fish from the pan, brush with the tartare sauce and press gently into breadcrumb mixture to coat.
• Serve hot with sweet potato wedges
