Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. In a large saucepan heat the 4 tablespoons oil until hot, but not smoking, and sauté the sliced onion for 1 minute, until limp but not brown, stirring constantly.
  3. Add tomatoes and water, season with salt, and add the peppercorns, bay leaves and garlic. Cook, covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes.
