Saffron Roasted Tomatoes With Snapper For 3 Hungry Tummies' 1st Birthday

We cooked up this beautiful dish to celebrate 3hungrytummies' first birthday just over a month ago. The 2 tummies had chosen the dish from an old Cuisine magazine (New Zealand) and did the shopping so it was a bit of a group effort here. This is a very straight forward dish but the combination of flavours will sure to blow your mind away. Personally I am not sure if the saffron is necessary so feel free to omit that altogether. 

P.S To my Muslim friends, halal beef chorizo is now available at good supermarkets.
