  1. Wash the thyme. Zest and juice the lemon.
  2. Rinse the fish, pat dry with kitchen paper and arrange in a shallow glass dish. Scatter the thyme leaves and lemon zest over the fish.
  3. Mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the lemon juice and drizzle over the fish. Leave to marinate for about 5 minutes.
