Preparation

  1. Clean the fish and put it in a marinade made of olive oil, white wine, lemon juice, 1 smashed garlic clove, salt, pepper and one rosemary sprig. Leave it in a fridge for at least 2 hours.
  2. Turn on the oven to 220°C (428 F)
  3. Peel, wash and cut potatoes into wedges. Place them in the baking dish, pour olive oil over them, add 2 sprigs of rosemary, 2 garlic cloves, salt, pepper and toss thoroughly. Put the dish in the preheated oven.
  4. After 15 minutes, turn the potatoes over and lay the fish on the top. Pour a little bit of marinade over fish and cook another 30 minutes or so (depends how big the fish is), until the fish is ready and the potatoes feel tender when tested with a fork.
  5. Serve it with green salad and enjoy.
