Ingredients:

Serving

2 small shallots, finely chopped (2 tbsp)
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
2 1/2 lbs plum tomatoes, chopped
6 stalks fresh lemongrass , tough outer layers removed and lower 6 inches coarsely chopped
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
6 (1-inch- thick) pieces halibut steak with skin (6 oz each)

Directions:

Cook shallots and garlic in 1 tablespoon oil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, lemongrass, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat and cook at a bare simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes fall apart and form a chunky sauce, about 20 minutes.
Force sauce through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids. Season with salt and pepper.
Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate.
Brush fish on both sides with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, then season with salt and pepper. Grill fish, covered only if using gas grill, on lightly oiled rack, turning over once, until just cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes total. Serve fish with sauce.
Cooks' notes: If you aren't able to grill outdoors, fish can be grilled in a well-seasoned large ridged grill pan (without crowding) over moderately high heat, turning over once, until just cooked through, 8 to 9 minutes total. Sauce can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature or reheat to warm before serving.
