3. Combine garlic and lemon zest in a small bowl. Add half of the olive oil, lemon juice, and parsley.
4. Brush the salt off the fish or, if it has dissolved, wipe the brine off with kitchen paper.
5. Heat remaining olive oil in a large non-stick pan, cook the fish, skin side down, for 6 minutes until the skin is crisp and browned, then remove from the pan.
6. Add thinly sliced fennel bulb and cook for 4-5 minutes; add capers and anchovies, then toss to combine.
