1. In a bowl mix and the put the extra virgin olive oil, chives, lemon zest, black olives, tomatoes and thyme in a small bowl with a good pinch of salt. Place over a low heat and warm up gently.
2. Heat a barbecue or a griddle pan over a medium heat. Cut 3 slits down each side of each fish, through the skin and the flesh but not quite down to the bone, and stuff the cavities with the lemon slices and thyme.
