Baked Fish Fillets with Leeks and Tomatoes

Can you think of anything better ?
A bed of Sautéed Leeks cooked gently, to bring out the sweetness 
The tanginess Of Roma Tomatoes
And to top this Fresh Fish Fillets, perfectly seasoned, 
beautifully cooked till it just flakes 

There’s not a lot to better this
Plus it’s So So Simple
You will need:

2 leeks,  Outer leaves removed washed and finely sliced 
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Slosh of wine wine 

2 Roma tomatoes sliced about 1 cm
A little olive oil
S&P

150 gms white fish fillets. I used Terakihi
2-3 tablespoons Olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Zest of a lemon
Juice 1/2 lemon

In a deep skillet that can go in the oven
Heat olive oil
Add leeks and season well with S &P
Gently cook over Med Heat till the leeks start to soften
About 10 minutes 
Turn heat up to high
Add slosh of white wine 
Let bubble away about 2 minutes till wine is absorbed
Turn heat off
Set aside
Meanwhile marinate the fish fillets with olive oil, S&P and lemon zest
Massage well
Best to marinate for at least 30 minutes minimum

To cook
Heat oven to 180C
Place sliced tomatoes over leeks in skillet
Season with S & P
Drizzle over with a little olive oil 
Place marinated fillets on top
Into oven for about 7 minutes
Test with your finger it should be soft, if it is done
Squeeze
Remove and serve

I served with Baby Potatoes boiled and tossed in Butter 
Delicious
