Ingredients for Sea Bream Crudo with Lemon and Olives

  • 2 plum tomatoes, halved crosswise

  • Kosher salt

  • 1/2 lemon

  • 675g highest-quality sea bream, skin, bones, and blood lines removed

  • 1 1/2 cups rocket

  • 1/3 cup Niçoise olives

  • 1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced

  • 120ml fresh lemon juice

  • Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)

  • Flaky sea salt

Grate tomatoes on a box grater until all the flesh is grated and there is just skin left; discard skin. Transfer tomato pulp to a small bowl and season lightly with kosher salt.

Cut lemon half into quarters; remove seeds and white pith in the centre. Thinly slice quarters.

Place fish on a cutting board. Hold a long knife at a 45° angle and cut fish with the grain into 1/4"-thick slices (use a sharp blade and aim for one long, clean stroke). Cut each slice in half crosswise.

Arrange sea bream on chilled plates. Spoon a bit of grated tomato around and scatter lemon pieces over. Top with rocket, olives, and onion. Pour lemon juice over, then drizzle with oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
