Instructions
In a large deep frying pan, heat the oil over moderately low heat.
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the ginger; cook, stirring, 2 minutes longer.
Add the tomatoes and salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 10 minutes.
Add the fillets and black pepper to the pan and cook, covered, until just done, 10 to 12 minutes longer for 1-inch thick fillets. Stir the cilantro into the sauce.
Serve the fish topped with the sauce.
Fish Alternatives: Other relatively firm, thick fillets or steaks that would be good include orange roughy, grouper, and halibut.
Add 1 chopped jalapeo pepper to the sauce along with the fresh ginger.
Wine Recommendation: Look for an acidic white without too much personality, so the wine won't get in the way of the tomato ginger sauce. Try a Portuguese vinhoverde or a refreshing French Ctes de Gascogne.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Cod on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. One wine you could try is Mark West Pinot Grigio. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 13 dollars.
