tablespoons vegetable oil  
medium onion, thinly sliced into half slices  
1/2 pounds red ripe tomatoes, peeled and finely chopped  
cup water  
or 9 peppercorns  
bay leaves  
garlic cloves, finely mashed  
Heat a little oil in a large skillet and sauté the fillets after salting and peppering them lightly. Turn only  
once and do not overcook. Lay fillets in a large oblong ovenproof dish and set aside.  
In a large saucepan heat the 4 tablespoons oil until hot, but not smoking, and sauté the sliced onion 1  
minute, until limp but not brown, stirring constantly. Add tomatoes and water, season with salt, and  
add the peppercorns, bay leaves and garlic. Cook, covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes.  
Pour sauce over fish fillets. At this point you can scatter a few stuffed green olives or drained and  
rinsed capers over the fish. Seal dish in foil.  
Heat a few minutes in the oven at 325 degrees F before serving.
