Baked Fish with Potatoes

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash and slice the potatoes into thin, even slices to ensure they cook evenly.
3. Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Toss the potatoes well to coat them evenly.
4. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even browning.
5. While the potatoes are baking, prepare the fish. Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
6. In a small bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over both sides of each fish fillet.
7. Remove the potatoes from the oven and push them to the sides of the baking sheet. Place the fish fillets in the center of the baking sheet.
8. Lay lemon slices over each fish fillet. This adds a nice citrus flavor and keeps the fish moist.
9. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The potatoes should be golden and crispy by this time.
10. Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the fish and potatoes.
11. Serve the baked fish with potatoes immediately, garnishing with additional lemon wedges if desired.
12. Tip: For extra crispy potatoes, consider broiling them for an additional 2-3 minutes.
