Prepare and heat grill to medium-high heat. Mix together all relish ingredients in a small bowl while grill heats. Set relish aside. Brush fish portions with peanut oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill on prepared grill over medium-high heat for approximately 7 minutes on the first side, turn over and finish grilling until desired doneness is reached. Thickness of fish filets will affect grilling time. When fish is grilled, place on serving plates and place a spoonful of relish over the top of each piece. Serve immediately with fresh herb garnish and your choice of starch and vegetable. Makes 8 servings.
