If desired, add a few drops of food color to give the fish a nice color.

5

Mix all the ingredients well to form a marinade.

6

Apply the marinade generously on both sides of the fish, ensuring it is well coated.

Let the fish marinate for about 1 hour to absorb the flavors.

Preheat the grill and place the fish on it, cooking it on one side until it is done.
