Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 450°F. Boil potatoes in salted water 10 minutes until just tender; drain well.
  2. On a sheet pan, gently smash potatoes to ~1/2 inch. Drizzle 1.5 tbsp oil; season. Toss Brussels with 1 tbsp oil, salt, pepper; add to pan.
  3. Roast 15–18 minutes, flipping once, until potatoes are crisp and Brussels are browned-tender.
  4. Season rockfish with salt and pepper. Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high. Sear 2–3 min per side until opaque and flaky. Transfer to plates.
  5. In the hot pan, melt butter; sizzle garlic 30 seconds. Off heat, stir in dill, lemon zest, and juice.
  6. Spoon lemon-dill butter over fish. Serve with roasted Brussels and crispy potatoes; add lemon wedges if desired.
