Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp tomato paste (i use the handy squeeze tubes now!)
4 small lemon verbena , sprigs
1/2 tsp lemon zest
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cucumber ( seeds removed, very small dice)
2 apples (braeburns are my favorite(peeled and very small dice-about 1/2 cup)
1 beefsteak tomato (peeled , seeds removed very small dice ( try brandywine or pruden's purple varieties)
12 cherry tomatoes (or yellow pear varieties-quartered)
2 tsp fresh parsley (chopped )
1 tbsp fresh basil ( chiffonade)
salt and pepper
1 1/2 lbs rockfish (skinless, boneless -cut into 4 portions)

Directions:

Pre-heat the oven to 500'F.
Bring water and tomato paste to a simmer and add verbena and lemon zest. Remove from heat and let steep for about 15 minutes.
Bring a pot of water to a boil.
Meanwhile, prepare the cucumber, apples and tomatoes, adding them to the olive oil so they don't change color. Season with salt and pepper (Sometimes I add the tiniest pinch of celery seed).
Chop herbs and set aside.
Place seasoned fish in a baking dish with plenty of room. Add the boiling water to the baking dish so that 1/4 of the fish is covered (no more!). Bake for 8 minutes.
While fish is baking, strain and re-heat tomato water. Add this to the salad. Add the herbs.
Carefully place the cooked fish onto your serving plate with the salad spooned over the top. Can you smell it?
