Catalan Fish Stew With Pimentón Mayonnaise

• 1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes, halved crosswise
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup bottled clam broth
• 4 ounces sliced serrano ham, cut into thin strips
• 1/3 cup pitted green olives, chopped
• 1 1/2 pound halibut fillet, cut into 2-inch chunks
• Kosher salt
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon sweet Pimenton de la Vera, smoked Spanish paprika

1. Using a box grater set in a bowl, carefully grate the cut sides of the tomatoes, stopping when you reach the skin. You should have about 2 cups of tomato pulp.
2. In a large, deep skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the onion and half of the garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until they are softened and just beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the tomato pulp and cook over high heat until it is thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the clam broth and boil until it is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the serrano, olives and halibut and simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the fish is cooked through and the stew is thick, about 5 minutes longer.
4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, using the back of a spoon, mash the remaining garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt. Whisk in the mayonnaise, pimenton and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
5. Serve the fish stew in shallow bowls with a dollop of the pimenton mayonnaise.
