Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb opah fillet, cut into 3-oz fillets
olive oil
2 tbsp garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp white wine
2 tbsp parsley, chopped (2 to 3)
1 lb unsalted butter, cut into cubes, room temperature
salt and pepper , to taste
parmesan cheese, shredded
1 lb tomato , vine-ripened
2 shallots, minced
4 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions:

Make the Tomato Concasse: (The French word means to roughly chop).
Remove the core of the tomato with the tip of a small knife.
At the other end, lightly score (just break the skin) of the tomato by cutting an X.
Plunge the tomatoes into a pot of rapidly boiling water for 10 seconds (blanch).
Remove the tomatoes with a slotted spoon and place into a bowl of ice water or under cold running water to halt the cooking process (this process is called 'refreshing').
The peel should now just slip off; if the tomatoes are not quite ripe, they may need to be blanched and refreshed again.
Place the tomatoes on a cutting board with the core side down and cut in half.
Remove the seeds with a teaspoon and discard.
Roughly chop the tomatoes to the desired size.
Gently cook the shallots and the tomatoes in butter without coloring them (this is called sweating) for 5 minutes and set aside until required.
For the Fish:.
Heat the saute pan on medium heat until hot.
Add in oil; season both sides of fillets with salt and pepper.
Sear on both sides until medium done, approximately 4 - 5 minutes total depending on thickness of fish.
Remove from pan; add garlic; stir consistently.
Add tomato concasse, lemon juice and white wine on medium heat; let reduce until most liquid is gone.
On low heat, add in butter a little at a time.
Remove from heat; add in chopped parsley and season.
