In this dish, oregano chicken gets a lift from a bright, zesty pan sauce of olives, lemon juice, butter, red pepper flakes, and honey. It's served over a bed of sweet potatoes, onion, and spinach for a hearty finish.

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Halve and peel the onions; cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges, keeping the layers intact. Transfer the sweet potato pieces and onion wedges to the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 24 to 26 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.
Meanwhile, roughly chop the olives. Quarter and deseed the lemon. In a bowl, whisk together the honey, the juice of 2 lemon wedges, and 1/3 cup of water until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper. Place the spinach in a separate bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat.
Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Season only on the skinless side with the oregano. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle 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.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate, skin side up.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.
In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped olives and as much of the red pepper flakes as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly softened. Add the honey-lemon mixture (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any fond, 3 to 4 minutes, or until combined and slightly thickened. Turn off the heat; stir in the butter until melted and combined. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
Carefully top the sheet pan of roasted vegetables with the seasoned spinach in an even layer. Return to the oven and roast 3 to 5 minutes, or until the spinach is mostly wilted. Remove from the oven and carefully stir to combine. Evenly top with the juice of the remaining lemon wedges. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished vegetables topped with the cooked fish and pan sauce. Enjoy!
