Prepare the Fish:
- Clean the gourami fish thoroughly, ensuring all scales are removed. Make shallow cuts on the fish’s skin to help the marinade penetrate the flesh.

Prepare the Grill:

Grill the Fish:
- Brush the marinated fish with the grilling glaze. Place it on the grill or grilling pan, cooking it over medium heat. Flip the fish occasionally, until it is thoroughly cooked and has a nice charred exterior.

Make the Sauce:
- In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until softened and translucent.
