• Cook the potatoes in water until a knife can be inserted into the potato flesh.
• Cut the tomatoes in small dice, add the chopped chives, the juice of half a lemon and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Cook the Romanesco broccoli in salted boiling water; it should remain crisp.
• Sauté the golden chanterelles with butter and a chopped shallot.
• Cook the fillets of John Dory with a generous pat of butter and some olive oil. Baste the fish frequently for 4-5 minutes.
• Arrange the fillets of John Dory, the potatoes, the golden chanterelles and the Romanesco broccoli on a plate in a “deconstructed” fashion. Pour the tomato salsa on the fillets just before serving.
