Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F. Place a rimmed sheet pan in the oven to preheat (helps potatoes crisp).
- Prep potatoes: cut ~12 oz russet potato into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Start potatoes: carefully remove hot sheet pan, spread potatoes in a single layer, and roast 15 minutes.
- Prep fish and topping: pat dry ~12 oz rockfish. In a bowl mix ~12 oz diced tomatoes, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, optional 2 tbsp chopped olives (or 1 tbsp capers), 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, optional 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, plus lemon zest from 1 lemon and 1 tbsp lemon juice.
- Add broccoli: after potatoes have roasted 15 minutes, toss ~12–16 oz broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, and a pinch of pepper. Push potatoes to one side and add broccoli to the other side. Roast 10 minutes.
- Add fish: move broccoli/potatoes aside to make space (or use a second small pan). Place rockfish on the sheet pan, drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp kosher salt. Spoon the tomato-garlic mixture over the fish.
- Finish roasting: roast 10–12 minutes, until fish flakes easily and hits ~140°F. If you want more color, broil 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely).
- Brighten and serve: squeeze remaining lemon juice over everything to taste. Garnish with 1 tbsp chopped dill if using. Plate fish with roasted tomatoes, plus crispy potatoes and roasted broccoli.
Health notes: ~550–750 kcal per serving (depends on potato portion and oil). Healthiness: Lean protein + lots of veg; heart-healthy if you keep oil moderate. Great weeknight macro balance.
Drink pairing: Wine: this is a slam dunk for crisp, citrusy whites that echo the lemon/garlic and handle tomato. Local bottle ideas (WA): Chateau Ste. Michelle Sauvignon Blanc or a Columbia Valley Pinot Gris. If you prefer red: a very light Pinot Noir can work, but white is best.
