4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 lbs. grouper cut into 4, 8 oz. fillets
1/2 cup coarsely diced tomato
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil

working off the heat, put 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet and add fish, turning to coat with oil on both sides. Place fish skinned and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss together tomato, garlic, basil, remaining tablespoon oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl, then mound on top of fish.
