Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and set aside.

3. Over a 450º grill, place oiled steaks on grill leaving enough room in between in each steak for air to rise.
4. Turn each steak over every two minutes and cook to an internal temperature of 145º then remove and let rest for 15 minutes
5. Top each portion of grilled fish with a generous tablespoon of Salsa Verde.
