Advice

Slice potatoes evenly and keep the layer relatively thin—if it’s too deep, fish will overcook before the potatoes soften.

Why it works

Roasting fish over potatoes bastes the veg in savory juices; scoring the skin prevents curling and promotes crackle, while wine and lemon create a bright, spoonable sauce.

Twist

Roast a handful of cherry tomatoes and a few pitted olives with the potatoes for a briny-sweet Dalmatian market vibe.

Status

Seaside tray bake with crackly skin and lemony pan juices—Baked Mackerel that tastes like a Dalmatian konoba. #grannyzen #dalmatianseafood #mackerel 🐟🍋🌊
