Instructions
- Heat oven to 450°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment for easy cleanup.
- Prep the veg: Toss potato chunks with 1.5 Tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried rosemary. Spread on half the sheet. Toss cauliflower florets with 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper; spread on the other half.
- Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes. Stir/flip, then roast 10 more minutes (25 minutes total so far).
- Prep the fish topping: In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp softened butter, 1 tsp olive oil, lemon zest, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, half the dill, and half the minced garlic; season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Make space in the center of the pan. Pat rockfish dry, season all over with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper, and place in the cleared area. Spread the lemon-dill butter over the fish.
- Return pan to oven and bake until fish flakes easily and veg are browned at edges, about 10–12 minutes (internal temp ~140–145°F).
- Finish: Squeeze remaining lemon juice over everything. Sprinkle with remaining dill. Taste and adjust salt/pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
