3 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves

In a bowl, combine the ingredients for the marinade. Place the fish fillets in a shallow tray. Pour the marinade over the fish and gently turn them once. Let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. 

Remove the fish from the marinade. In a saucepan, bring the leftover marinade to a simmer. Add the white wine and salt and continue to simmer for a few minutes. Set aside for use as a serving sauce. 

Prepare the grill with medium and low heat zones. Just before grilling, oil the hot grate.
