How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 2 white fish fillets, about 1/2-inch thick (such as sea bass, branzino, or sea bream)
- 1 medium yukon gold potato (about 4 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 red onion, sliced (optional)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 410 degrees Fahrenheit. Rinse and pat the fish fillets dry.
- Step 2: Slice the potato(es) as thinly as possible with a sharp knife or mandolin, about 1/8-inch thick. Toss the potatoes in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Step 3: Rub the fish fillets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets on a lined baking sheet or baking dish. Place the potato slices in a single layer over the fish so that the top is completely covered (some slight overlap is ok). Put any extra potato slices on the side of the pan.
- Step 4: Roast the fish for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. It will be ready when the fish flakes easily with a fork and the potatoes are crispy.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with optional lemon and olive oil drizzled on top.
