Preparation

Step 1
In an enamel, stainless steel or anodized aluminum skillet large enough to hold the skate wings in a single layer, simmer the wine with the onion and bay leaf for a few minutes. Add the vinegar.
Step 2
Place the skate wings in the wine mixture and simmer until they just turn opaque, six to eight minutes. Remove the fish from the liquid and cut each skate wing into two portions. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Step 3
To serve, place the skate wings on a serving platter or individual plates and season each with salt and pepper. Top with tomatoes, scallions, basil and capers. Drizzle with olive oil. Serve at room temperature.

I didn't have fresh tomatoes, so I used canned and made a sauce with onions and garlic and a bit of red wine vinegar to drizzle over the fish and accompanying rice. The fish had wonderful flavor and was not overwhelmed by the sauce.
