Preparation

1. Place the 1/4 cup olive oil in a 13-by-9-by-2-inch oval dish. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power in a high-power oven for 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes; cook for 8 minutes.
2. Place the basil, garlic and remaining oil in a food processor. Process until finely chopped, stopping twice to scrape down the bowl.
3. Remove the dish from oven. Stir in the basil mixture, pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, uncovered, for 1 minute.
4. Remove the dish from the oven. Place fish fillets over the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with pepper and the remaining salt. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook for 7 minutes. Then prick the plastic to release steam. Remove from the oven and uncover. Place each fillet on a plate, and spoon over some sauce.
