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!

Tips:
- Choose the right fish. A firm-fleshed fish like cod, halibut, or tilapia will work best for this recipe.
- Make sure your potatoes are crispy. The key to a great potato-crusted fish is crispy potatoes. Be sure to parboil the potatoes before roasting them, and then roast them at a high temperature until they're golden brown.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When roasting the potatoes, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
- Use a flavorful marinade. Marinating the fish before cooking will help to infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade.
- Cook the fish until it's just cooked through. Overcooked fish is dry and tough, so be careful not to overcook it. The best way to check if the fish is done is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish flakes easily, it's done.
Conclusion:
Potato-crusted fish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. With a crispy potato crust and a flaky, flavorful fish interior, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give potato-crusted fish a try. You won't be disappointed!
