Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the grill or grill pan on high heat. Take a medium bowl and mix together cherries, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice. Add salt and pepper for seasoning, then mix well to combine everything; set the salsa aside for later use.

2. 2

   Combine coriander, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a small bowl. Use paper towels to dry the fish. Coat the fillets with oil and then apply the spice mixture evenly on all sides.

3. 3

   Prepare the grill grates by cleaning and applying a light coating of oil. Grill the tilapia until it turns opaque on the edges and easily releases from the grill, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Use a thin metal spatula to carefully flip the fish over and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes opaque all the way through. Finally, present the grilled tilapia with a flavorful topping of cherry salsa.
