Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Halve the potatoes and tomatoes, thinly slice the Walla Walla onion, trim the green beans, zest and juice the lemon, and chop the parsley.
- On a rimmed sheet pan, toss the potatoes and sliced onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper; spread cut-side down and roast for 18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together the softened butter, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, half the parsley, a pinch of salt, and plenty of black pepper.
- Pat the rockfish dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Toss the green beans and tomatoes with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, a small squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven, add the green beans and tomatoes around the potatoes, and nestle the rockfish portions on top. Spread the lemon-Dijon butter over the fish.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for 10–12 minutes, until the rockfish flakes easily and reaches 145°F in the thickest part and the green beans are crisp-tender.
- Rest for 3 minutes, then plate the potatoes and vegetables first, set the rockfish on top, spoon over any buttery pan juices, and finish with the remaining parsley.
