- Make the compote.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, and celery, season with pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, olives, and capers and cook, stirring, until hot, about 2 minutes more.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and parsley.
- Set aside covered with foil to keep warm.
- Place a rack 5 inches from the broiler element and preheat.
- Prepare the fish.
- Using a sharp knife, slash the bluefish skin to form cross-hatch marks.
- Transfer the fillets to a foil-lined baking sheet and brush all over with the oil.
- Season with salt and generously with pepper.
- Broil the fish skin-side down, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- (If the skin comes loose during cooking, you may remove and discard it.)
- Using a metal spatula, transfer the fillets to 4 warmed plates and top with the compote.
- Serve immediately.
