• 1 piccola cipolla, tritata

• About 475ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided

• 1/4 cucchiaini di sale marino fine

Core tomato and cut a shallow X in bottom, then blanch in boiling water 10 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to an ice bath to stop cooking. Keep water at a boil.

Lift out tomato (reserve ice bath), then peel, seed, and dice. Put in a bowl with garlic, basil, thyme, olives, and capers.

Blanch celery, fennel, and courgette in boiling water 30 seconds, then drain and transfer to ice bath. When vegetables are chilled, drain and stir into tomato mixture.

Cook peppers and onion in 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then stir into vegetables along with saffron and enough remaining oil to cover (about 475ml ). Marinate, covered and chilled, 24 hours.

Preriscalda il forno a 232°C con la griglia al centro.

Put fish, skin side up, in a shallow baking pan and pat dry. Sprinkle with sea salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper, then drizzle with a little oil. Roast fish until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, gently warm half of vegetable mixture and stir in lemon. Serve fish topped with vegetables and sprinkled with chives and coarse sea salt.
