For the salsa, heat the olive oil in a pan over low heat and gently fry the onion and garlic until soft. Pour this, along with the juices, into a bowl and add the diced tomato, capers, parsley and 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, mix well and set aside.
Heat a grill and brush or spray the vegetables slices with oil before cooking on both sides. Season and set aside.
Pan-fry the fish fillets in a little oil, skin-side down, for about 1 minute. Depending how thick they are, it may take less time or it may take more. Turn the fillets over and cook the other side for about 1 minute. Season well.
Pan-fry the lemon, cut side down, until caramelized. Arrange the fish, vegetables and salsa any way you wish. Serve immediately.
*Use dried tomatoes that are not brined or stored in oil
