Ingredients

Scale

For the Pan-Seared White Fish:

  • 4 white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

  • 1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)

  • Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish (optional)

For the Herbed Baby Potatoes:

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for tossing)

For the Garden Salad:

  1. 4 cups mixed salad greens (e.g., arugula, spinach, romaine)

  2. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  3. ½ cucumber, thinly sliced

  4. ¼ red onion, thinly sliced

  5. 2 tablespoons olive oil

  6. 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice

  7. Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Baby Potatoes:
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, thyme (or rosemary), salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once, until golden and tender. Toss with chopped parsley before serving.

  2. Prepare the Salad:
    In a large bowl, combine salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Toss gently and set aside.

  3. Pan-Sear the Fish:
    Pat fish fillets dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear fish for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through (flakes easily with a fork). Remove from heat and garnish with lemon slices and fresh herbs if desired.

  4. Assemble the Plate:
    Serve each fish fillet alongside a portion of herbed baby potatoes and garden salad. Optional: drizzle lemon juice over the fish for added brightness.
