Remarks
It's not essential to use sea bream, you can use any good fish that's in season.

If you don't have cherry tomatoes, use larger tomatoes sliced.

For the cheese in the polenta, I recommend (as usual!) Comté, but any other cheese you like will work just fine.
Keeping: Should be eaten immediately.

How to prepare tomatoes
How to prepare tomatoes
Yes, I know you will say to me: why peel tomatoes? The answer is very simple: it's much better, gives a better texture, softer in the mouth. The skin is tough, adds nothing to the taste (and you will have noticed that commercial tomatoes have practically no taste), and finally it's there (on/under the skin) that the awful chemical products that the fruit receive during growth, are concentrated (treatments, pesticides, etc...).

This new version of tiramisu is easier, and in my opinion much better. You will certainly appreciate, like me, the light creamy taste, this time presented in brandy goblets.
