Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper. Lightly score the skin of each fillet at half-inch intervals.

  2. Step 2

    Bring to a boil enough water to cover the tomatoes. Add the tomatoes, remove from heat and let stand about 9 seconds. Drain and peel the tomatoes, then cut them into ½-inch cubes. There should be about 3 cups.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and all of the butter in a saucepan, and add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook about 10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet and add the fillets, skin side down. Cook over relatively high heat about 2 minutes on one side. Turn the fillets over and cook about 1 minute longer. Arrange the fillets skin side up on a warm serving platter. Garnish each fillet with two anchovy fillets, crossing one over the other. Spoon about ½ tablespoon of the cooking oil over each fillet.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon equal portions of the tomatoes over each fillet. Sprinkle with chopped basil and serve.

This is a great easy meal. My steelhead was skinless but it worked. Cooked it for a total of five minutes. Picked the tomatoes off of the vine just before. Paired we with the @nytcooking Alison Roman broccolini and parmesan dish.

This was an easy, tasty midday meal. No fresh basil at this season, so substituted the fresh parsley I do have. I'm sure the taste is different, but it's good.
