Preparation

Cherry Tomato Relish: In small skillet, lightly toast ground coriander and pepper over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes; transfer to bowl.

Add cherry tomatoes, fresh coriander, jalapeño pepper, onion, oil, lime rind and juice, ginger and sa< toss well to combine. Set aside. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 8 hours; bring to room temperature before serving.)

Cut 2 diagonal slashes into each side of fish. Sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper. Place in greased fish basket or on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook for 10 minutes. Turn basket, or loosen fish with spatula and, using spatulas over and under fish, turn over. Cook until fish flakes easily when tested, about 15 minutes. Serve with relish.
