    Method: 

    Combine juice, shallot and tarragon in a small saucepan and simmer until thickened, 15-20 minutes; cover and set aside.

    Heat broiler. Sprinkle both sides of fish with oil, salt and pepper. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil 5 to 6 inches from heat, just until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes per half inch of thickness.

    Use a wide spatula to transfer fillet to serving plate, spoon sauce on top and sprinkle with olives.
