Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle fish fillets with salt and arrange in a flat bottomed bowl or pie plate.

Pour on the lemon juice and let sit.

Heat 3 Tbls. of the oil in an ovenproof pan, add the potatoes in layers, and sprinkle each layer with salt. Be careful not to oversalt.

Turn the potatoes to coat with the oil and saute over medium heat for 2 minutes.

Sitr in the onions, 1/8 tsp. of the safron, and1/4 tsp. of the paprika. Saute for 2 minutes more.

Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the potatores are almost tender, 15- to 20 minutes, lifting and turning the potatoes occasionally.

Preheat over to 375 degrees.

Drain the fish and arrange over the potatoes. Drizzle the remaining 2 Tbls. of oil over the fish and sprinkle with salt and remaining 1/8 of the saffron and 1/4 tsp. of paprika.

Bake for about 15 minutes until fish is just heated through and flakes easily with a fork.

You can bring the fish to the table in the pan or transfer it to dinner plates and arrange the potatoes around it. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
