Preheat the grill for medium-high heat. Place a large piece of nonstick aluminum foil or heavy duty foil (brushed with oil on top) on the grill grates. Make sure the foil doesn't completely cover the grill to allow for air flow. Pierce a few holes in the foil with a grilling fork to allow for drainage. Remove some of the excess marinade from the fish. Place the fillets spaced apart on the foil. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping the fish halfway through.Step 6
Remove the fish from the heat and serve topped with red onion slices and cilantro leaves.
