Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and grill the pancetta for one minute on each side, until crisp, then set aside. Heat the same pan with the half tablespoon of coconut oil over a medium to high heat. Wait until the oil starts to bubble, then fry the fish for two minutes on the first side, then one minute on the second. Put the cooked fish to one side.
Throw the petits pois into the pan and saute them over a medium heat with the lemon juice for a few minutes, then serve to the side of the fish with a smear of salsa verde, the pancetta and a sprinkling of lemon zest.
