BAKED FILLET OF SOLE WITH TOMATO, OREGANO AND HOT PEPPER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Adjust oven rack to the top level.
• Put onion and olive oil in a skillet, turn heat to medium, and cook until the onion is golden. Add garlic, and saute until it turns pale gold; then add the tomatoes and a little salt, and stir. Simmer 20 minutes, until the oil floats on the surface of the mixture. Add the capers, oregano and pepper. Stir and cook a minute longer, and remove from heat.
• Rinse and dry the fish. Select a baking dish large enough to hold the fillets folded in half lengthwise in a single layer. Spread a tablespoon of the tomato mixture in the bottom of the dish.
• Dip each fillet in the tomato mixture to coat both sides, fold lengthwise, and arrange in the baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over fish, and bake, uncovered, 5 minutes or slightly longer, until fish is done.
• Remove from the oven, tip the dish and spoon the sauce from the dish into a saucepan. Cook the sauce over high heat until it has returned to its original thickness. Spoon it back over the fish, and serve directly from the baking dish.
