3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire

Prepare BBQ grill, heating to medium-high (or, a solid bed of hot coals with grill positioned 4 to 6 inches above). Coat grill with cooking spray and place fish on grill; cook with cover closed, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until fish is just opaque but still moist in thickest part (cut to test).
