Found this great recipe over on the Home and Family section of the Hallmarkchannel.com website. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks about as authentic as it could be. Enjoy!

Tips:
Buy the freshest fish.
Fresh fish is vibrant in color.
Don't overcook! Cook on medium temperature.
Cook each side evenly.
