Grilled Fish A La Marocaine

We just made this recipe using chicken and it was great. The flavor was much different than I had expected, but quite good. With the addition of the Moroccan tomato and pepper salad, this was an extremely light, yet very flavorful meal. I would suggest some type of flat breads with this recipe.
