This is the meal you would wanna cook when you are craving something healthy, fresh and wholesome.
This whole baked fish with potatoes is proof that the best meals are often the simplest. Fresh ingredients, a handful of pantry spices, and one baking dish are all it takes to create a flavorful, healthy dinner. The fish stays tender and flaky while the potatoes become perfectly golden, soaking up all the citrusy juices as they roast together.
I served mine with a generous drizzle of sauce made with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, mustard, garlic, and herbs. It adds a bright, zesty finish that complements the flaky fish beautifully and brings the whole dish to life.

Place a few lemon slices and fresh herbs inside the fish.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and place the fish on top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, depending on the size of the fish, until it flakes easily with a fork.
In a small bowl or jar, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Close the jar and shake vigorously until the sauce is smooth and emulsified.
