- Cover the fillets of John Dory with the tomatoes. Reserve the equivalent of 2 tomatoes for the sauce.
- Lay each fillet on a branch of rosemary in an oiled and salted baking dish. Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
- Combine the chopped shallot with the white wine and vinegar and reduce. Add the cooking liquid from the fish. Bring to a simmer. Whisk in the butter, cut into small pieces. Emulsify and strain.
- Season with the reserved crushed tomato, lemon juice, olives, capers, chopped chives and parsley. Cook the beans in the olive oil with 20 g butter and a little water over high heat. Season with pepper.
- Present the fish on an oval platter. Pour the sauce over top. Arrange the beans around and decorate each fillet with rosemary flowers.
