Put all the ingredients for the tapenade, apart from the breadcrumbs, in a food processor and blast for 30 seconds, making sure the mixture doesn't go in to a mush. Then add the breadcrumbs. Place the tomatoes in the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Then put them, with the chopped onion and garlic, into a blender and liquidise. Strain this mixture through a fine sieve. Bring a pan of water and sea salt to the boil and cook the marsh samphire for six minutes. Strain and add the olive oil and lemon juice. Take the cod fillets and fry on one side to seal.
