4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
-JUDI M. PHELPS
1½ pounds Fresh tomatoes (about 3 med)
3 tablespoons White onion; grated
⅛ teaspoon Salt
¼ cup Orange marmalade
2 tablespoons Brandy
2 teaspoons Whole coriander; crushed
½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
pinch Cayenne
1¼ pounds Orange roughy fillets
Lemon wedges (1 per serving)

Directions

Cut the unpeeled tomatoes in half crosswise, squeeze out the seed pockets, and cut out the stem ends. Dice the tomatoes and place in a saucepan with the onion and salt. Cook over medium heat, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the marmalade and brandy and continue to cook, 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne and cook 5 minutes longer, stirring frequently.

Meanwhile, rinse the fish. Place it in a skillet large enough to hold it in a single layer and add enough water to just cover the fish. Remove the fish and set aside. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium, and add the fish in a single layer.

Bring back to a simmer, cover, and poach 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Fish is done when mostly opaque but still barely translucent at the very center. Remove from the poaching liquid, draining off as much water as possible. Place on a platter and drain again. Pour the hot tomato orange marmalade over the fish, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve immediately.
