Shortly before serving time, combine salsa ingredients in a serving bowl.
Heat oiled grill to very hot.
Remove fish from the marinade.
Pat dry.
Cook on the well oiled grill (or use fish cooking basket) for about 4 minutes per side or until fish is opaque.
Meanwhile boil marinade in saucepan for about 2 minutes.
Strain marinade.
Spoon a little of the marinade over fish fillets on the serving plate.
Serve with fresh tomato salsa.
