Instructions

Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly brush fish fillets with olive oil; place skin-side down on grill and cook for 4 minutes until skin is crisp.
Step 2: Flip fish and brush with melted black sugar, then grill for 3 more minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork and sugar glaze is caramelized.
Step 3: While fish cooks, combine diced mango, minced red onion, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl; toss gently and let sit for 5 minutes to meld flavors before serving with the grilled fish.
