Instructions:
1. Roasting the King Fish:

In a small bowl, mix softened butter, paprika, parsley, lemon zest, juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Coat the King Fish fillet on both sides with this flavorful butter mixture for a rich, buttery crust.
Roast the fish for 25-30 minutes, until it’s opaque and flakes easily. Set aside to rest.

Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add minced garlic, chili flakes, thyme, and lemon zest, sautéing until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden.
Stir in chopped Roma tomatoes, anchovy paste, capers, and olives. Cook until the tomatoes soften, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.
Finish with chopped parsley and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
