Prepare BBQ (medium-high heat). Thread jalapeno and garlic clove onto metal skewer. Brush jalapeno, garlic, fish, and red bell peppers with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2
Sprinkle fish with 1/2 tsp cumin and 1/2 tsp coriander. Grill fish, bell pepper, jalapeno, and garlic until vegetables are tender and charred and fish is just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side for fish and 8 minutes per side for vegetables.
3
Grill lemon, cut side down, until charred, about 3 minutes. Transfer fish to plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
