instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients & make the lemon-caper sauce
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick sticks. Peel 1 clove of garlic. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. Roughly chop the capers. Quarter and deseed the lemon. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped capers, a pinch of the spice blend, the juice of 1 lemon wedge, and as much of the garlic paste as you’d like. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
2
Roast the potatoes
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the remaining spice blend. Toss to coat. Transfer to a sheet pan and arrange in an even layer. Roast 21 to 23 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
3
Cook the fish
Once the potatoes have roasted about 10 minutes, pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fish, skin side down. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until the skin is browned and crispy. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.* Turn off the heat.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.
4
Make the salad & serve your dish
In a large bowl, whisk together the juice of remaining lemon wedges and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, add the arugula to the bowl; season with salt and pepper. Gently toss to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the cooked fish with the roasted potatoes and salad. Top the fish with the sauce. Enjoy!
