Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure it's hot enough for the potatoes and fish to bake evenly.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra fiber and texture.
- Cut the potatoes into wedges by first slicing them in half lengthwise and then into quarters.
- Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with half (2 tbsp) of the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through.
- In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, chopped parsley, and spearmint. Mix well to evenly distribute the herbs.
- Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- Brush each fish fillet with the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil. This helps the bread crumbs adhere better and adds flavor.
- Press each fillet into the bread crumb mixture, coating both sides evenly. Gently press the bread crumbs onto the fish to ensure they stick well.
- Arrange the coated fish fillets on another baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
- Once the fish and potato wedges are done baking, remove them from the oven. Let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the lemon and herb fish fillets with the crispy potato wedges on the side. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious lemon and herb fish with wedges!
