Roast Halibut With Fingerling Potatoes, Lemon, and Rosemary

damienducks's Note:

One of my favorite ways to cook halibut when it's in season! This is simple and tasty--I someimes slice a lemon and roast the slices along with the fish, but it's not really necessary. As with all fish dishes, the fresher the fish, the better.

My halibut came out kind of chewy and we didn't really care for the lemon taste that the potatoes had after adding the lemon juice. Also, the garlic burned and so did the herbs on top of the fish. This wasn't exactly my favorite.

This is amazing; I have never prepared this without everyone asking for the recipe. With the ability to freeze halibut right out of the water, I have only cooked this from thawed fish. Can't wait to try it with fresh next spring!
