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
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- Roast the halibut in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the roasted garlic cloves, butter, warmed milk, and remaining salt and black pepper.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
- To serve, plate the roasted garlic mashed potatoes alongside the halibut fillets.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a fresh, zesty finish.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the halibut before roasting.
- Feel free to substitute other types of fish, such as cod or salmon, if halibut is unavailable.
- Try adding a sprinkle of paprika or fresh herbs like thyme or dill to the potatoes for an added flavor twist.
