Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F.

3. In a large bowl mix potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the potatoes to a large roasting pan and try to spread them into 1 layer. Top with the bay leaves. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, after flipping with a spatula, to ensure even browning and roast for another 20 minutes.
4. Place the fish on top of the potatoes and roast for 20 – 30 minutes or until the fish is a nice golden color, the flesh is done (check with a fork in the middle of the fish) but still juicy.
