Method
Blitz all the marinade ingredients.
Set the fish into a shallow dish, pour in the marinade and turn the fish in it a few times, making sure it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours.
Heat the oven to 210°C and roast the fish for 20-25 minutes or so, turning it halfway through.
Remove from the oven and pull into pieces. Keep the remaining marinade as a dressing.
Toss the tomatoes with the leaves and herbs and spread over individual dishes or one large platter.
Set the fish on top, drizzle with the marinade, sprinkle the sesame seeds, season with pepper, give a little squeeze of lemon and serve.
