Heat the oil in a pan, add the lemon and stir until it starts to caramelise around the edges. Tip into a bowl and add the garlic and olives. Add more olive oil and a little lemon juice and season. Leave to sit for 2 hours. Then stir in the parsley.

Cut slashes in each side of the fish and grill or barbecue for about 4 minutes each side. Serve with the lemon salsa.
