The next day, drain and rinse the fish.
Cover with water again.
Place in the fridge overnight.
Drain and rinse the fish.
Make sure the fish water is not salty. If so, you might need to do one more overnight soak.

Keep in the fridge until ready to use.
Heat olive oil in a large pot.
Add the onion and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes and roasted red bell peppers.
