  • finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons 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 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 (1-inch-thick) pieces halibut steak with skin (6 oz each)

Instructions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Add tomatoes, lemongrass, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil, stirring.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat and cook at a bare simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes fall apart and form a chunky sauce, about 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Prepare grill for cooking.

  7. 7

    If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal.

  8. 8

    Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds.

  9. 9

    If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate.

  10. 10

    Brush fish on both sides with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, then season with salt and pepper.
