It's my understanding that Opah (moonfish) isn't easy to come by, so I was thrilled when I found some. Then I discovered that there are not many recipes out on the internet, so recipes are also hard to come by. I found this one and we loved both the fish and the recipe.

Steps:
- 1. Make the Tomato Concasse: (The French word means to roughly chop).
- 2. Remove the core of the tomato with the tip of a small knife.
- 3. At the other end, lightly score (just break the skin) of the tomato by cutting an X.
- 4. Plunge the tomatoes into a pot of rapidly boiling water for 10 seconds (blanch).
- 5. Remove the tomatoes with a slotted spoon and place into a bowl of ice water or under cold running water to halt the cooking process (this process is called 'refreshing').
- 6. The peel should now just slip off; if the tomatoes are not quite ripe, they may need to be blanched and refreshed again.
- 7. Place the tomatoes on a cutting board with the core side down and cut in half.
- 8. Remove the seeds with a teaspoon and discard.
- 9. Roughly chop the tomatoes to the desired size.
- 10. Gently cook the shallots and the tomatoes in butter without coloring them (this is called sweating) for 5 minutes and set aside until required.
- 11. For the Fish:
- 12. Heat the saute pan on medium heat until hot.
- 13. Add in oil; season both sides of fillets with salt and pepper.
- 14. Sear on both sides until medium done, approximately 4 - 5 minutes total depending on thickness of fish.
- 15. Remove from pan; add garlic; stir consistently.
- 16. Add tomato concasse, lemon juice and white wine on medium heat; let reduce until most liquid is gone.
- 17. On low heat, add in butter a little at a time.
- 18. Remove from heat; add in chopped parsley and season.
