POTATO-CRUSTED HALIBUT
Steps:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the olive oil, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, lemon zest, crushed red pepper flakes and fennel seeds. Bring to a boil then turn the heat off and let it sit for at least 1 hour. (*Big tip: This can be done ahead and used for LOTS of different things.)
- Using a mandoline, slice 1 potato extremely thin, (paper thin), in elongated rounds. Lay a piece of parchment paper on a clean, dry work surface. Arrange 3 potato slices in an overlapping vertical line pressing them together as you put them on the parchment. Repeat this process until you have a 4 by 6-inch overlapping potato rectangle that replicates fish scales. Brush the potato "scales" with the infused oil and sprinkle with salt. Season the halibut with salt. Lay the halibut fillet closer to 1 end of the potato rectangle than the other and then roll the fish up in the potato slices, using the parchment to help facilitate the rolling. Press to compact and really adhere the potatoes to the fish. Brush the outside of the potatoes with the infused oil to seal the potatoes and to prevent the potatoes from turning brown, this will also help make a nice tight "fish package". Reserve the fish in the refrigerator while preparing the remaining fillets. Refrigerate the fillets for at least 1 hour before cooking.
- To cook the fish:
- Add the infused olive oil to a large nonstick saute pan until the bottom is generously covered and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Season the fish with salt and add to the pan. Cook the fish on both sides for 3 to 4 minutes frequently spooning the excess oil over the fish to "baste" it. The potatoes should be crispy golden brown and very well flavored and the fish will be succulent inside its crispy "scales". Transfer to serving plates and serve.
- This will make a fish lover out of anyone!

ROASTED HALIBUT AND POTATOES WITH ROSEMARY
This is a great method for roasting any type of firm-fleshed fish fillet. The seasoning mimics one often used for pork chops, and all the cooking is done in the oven, except for the initial boiling of the potatoes. The result ticks all the boxes - it is easy to prepare; it uses a minimum of pots and pans; and most important, it is utterly delicious.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Boil potatoes in well-salted water for 15 minutes, until tender. Rinse with cold water to cool, then cut each potato in half lengthwise.
- Transfer potatoes to shallow roasting pan, or rimmed baking sheet large enough to hold potato halves in 1 layer.
- Drizzle potatoes generously with 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil. Using your hands, massage the potatoes to coat with oil and turn potatoes cut-side up. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Roast potatoes, uncovered, until nicely browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
- As potatoes cook, prepare the fish: Season fish fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with garlic, rosemary, red-pepper flakes and crushed fennel seeds, if using. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then rub seasoning into fillets.
- When potatoes are brown, use a spatula to push them to the sides of baking dish, leaving room in the center for the fish. Lay fillets side by side in 1 layer. Roast fish until opaque and just cooked through, about 15 minutes. It should flake when pressed gently.
- Transfer fish and potatoes to a warm platter or individual plates. In a small bowl, mix together parsley, lemon zest and finely chopped rosemary. Sprinkle parsley mixture over fish and potatoes. Serve with lemon wedges.
