3 ½ Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 small lemons, halved
Stir together parsley, olives, chives, shallot, zest, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle and rub paprika mixture onto portions. Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat until hot; add remaining 1½ Tablespoons oil swirling to coat.
Add portions skin side up and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn fillets over and cook until golden and just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and let stand a few minutes.
Cook lemon halves cut side down until charred, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Arrange portions on a serving dish. Spoon salsa verde on top of filets. Serve warm with charred lemons.
