Directions

Cover and marinate for ½ hour at room temperature or up to 3 hours in the refrigerator, turning occasionally.
Just before serving, combine tomatoes, onions, chiles, cilantro, sugar and salt to taste.

Remove fish from marinade, pat dry (reserving marinade) and brush lightly with 1 teaspoon oil and grind pepper over the surface.
Cook on a greased grill for about 4 minutes per side or until flesh is opaque.
Meanwhile, boil marinade in saucepan for 2 minutes, remove and discard garlic cloves, and spoon a little of it over the fish, Spoon the tomato salsa alongside and serve.
