Ingredients
- 2 large tomatoes

- 1 whole bay leaf
- Four 6-ounce orange roughy fillets

- 1½ tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1½ tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan of boiling water, blanch the tomatoes for 30 seconds. Drain and cool slightly. Peel, halve and seed the tomatoes.
- In a large skillet, bring the clam juice, wine, lemon juice and bay leaf to a boil. Add the fish, cover and simmer until cooked through, about 4 minutes.
- 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.
- Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve.
Notes
- Tilapia may be substituted for the orange roughy.
- To save time on cooking day, prepare the tomatoes a day in advance and refrigerate.
