Tips

If you prefer, you can use only one type of cherry tomatoes and enrich with other aromatic herbs such as marjoram, basil, or fennel, even fresh oregano instead of dried if you prefer. To ensure there are no bones in the fillet, run your palm over it; you will immediately feel any bones, remove them by pulling in their direction to avoid damaging the flesh.
