METHOD
Fish: Whisk the oil and lemon juice together in a large shallow dish and add the fish, turning to coat on both sides. Set aside while you make the dressing.
Dressing: Put the oil, garlic and chilli flakes in a small saucepan and place over a very low heat. Cook for a couple of minutes until the garlic is a pale golden colour. Take off the heat and stir in the vinegar. Set aside.
