2 md Zucchini; scrubbed clean (1
; pound)
2 tablespoon Olive oil
1 md Onion; finely chopped
One; (28ounce) can plum
; tomatoes with
; juices
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper
1 teaspoon Fresh or One half teaspoon dried
thyme
10 md Fresh basil leaves
Four; (8ounce) skinless,
; boneless fillets of
; grouper, wolf fish
; or orange roughy
One half cup Dry white wine

Cut the zucchini into slices 1/8inch or thinner. Bring 4 cups of water to
a boil, add the zucchini and boil for 2 minutes. Drain, run under cold
water to stop the cooking, pat the slices dry and set aside.

TO MAKE THE SAUCE: In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add
the onion and cook, over low heat, for about 3 to 4 minutes, uncovered, or
until soft. Add the tomatoes with their juices, salt and pepper to taste,
the thyme and basil leaves. Simmer, over medium heat, uncovered for 10
minutes.

Preheat the oven to 300º F. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper
and place them in a nonstick saut‚ pan large enough to hold them in a
single layer. Arrange the zucchini slices over the fish, forming an
overlapping pattern that looks like the scales of a fish. Add the wine and
more salt and pepper to taste and bring the wine to a simmer. Cover with a
lid or foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes or until the fish
is flaky.

While the fish is cooking, blend the sauce into a smooth puree.

To serve, ladle some sauce over the entire surface of a dinner plate.
Remove the zucchini covered fish with a slotted spatula to a paper towel to
absorb any excess liquid before setting it in the middle of the sauce.
