Method

• step 1

  Squeeze the juice from the lemon and save it. Halve the lemon again, then scrape out and discard the flesh. If there’s a thick pith on the peel, slice away half. Cut the peel into dice.

• step 2

  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.

• step 3

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