Place the fish in a small roasting pan. Add the wine and vinegar mix to reach about halfway up the sides of the fish. Scatter the olives, garlic, and lemon zest around the fish. Drizzle with the oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, chives, garlic, and the red pepper. Roast until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. 

Remove from oven and sprinkle with the parsley. Divide the fish among individual plates and spoon the olives and wine sauce over the top.
