Ingredients

4 6-ounce skin-on bluefish fillets, scaled
1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
4 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 tablespoon butter
3 ears corn, shucked
1 leek white, split, washed, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup sweet 100 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
12 basil leaves, torn
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 thinly sliced radishes

Without moving the fillets, place the pan in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until cooked through. Remove the skillet from the oven and drop the butter into the pan. As the butter begins to melt, baste the bluefish fillets. Remove from fillets from pan and set aside.
