Arrange the halibut on serving plates, drizzle with the sauce and serve with the roasted leeks and tomatoes alongside.

• Bake, checking and stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes become saucy and the leeks are very, very tender, about an hour. If you like, sprinkle with Parmesan and raise the heat until the cheese melts and browns a bit. Otherwise, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot or warm.
