Halibut with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• Halibut fillets (4 (6-ounce) fillets)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Salt (1 teaspoon, divided)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon, divided)
• Potatoes (2 pounds, peeled and cubed)
• Roasted garlic (1 head, roasted)
• Butter (4 tablespoons, unsalted)
• Milk (1/2 cup, warmed)
• Fresh parsley (2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish))
• Lemon wedges (4 (for serving))

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the halibut fillets by placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the fillets with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper.
3. Roast the halibut in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
5. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the roasted garlic cloves, butter, warmed milk, and remaining salt and black pepper.
6. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
7. To serve, plate the roasted garlic mashed potatoes alongside the halibut fillets.
8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a fresh, zesty finish.
