Instructions
- In a medium saucepan of boiling water, blanch the tomatoes for 30 seconds. Drain and cool slightly. Peel, halve and seed the tomatoes.

- Transfer the fish to plates using a slotted spatula. Tent the fish with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Pour ½ cup of the fish cooking liquid into the blender, discarding the bay leaf. Add the tomatoes; purée. Pour the purée into a small saucepan. Add the olive oil and bring to a boil. Mix in the fresh herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Notes
