instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

    2

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices.

    3

    In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil until evenly coated.

    4

    Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, or until they start to soften.

    5

    While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the onion and garlic.

    6

    In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

    7

    Add the fish fillets to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes on each side, until they are nicely browned and cooked through.

    8

    Once the potatoes are soft, remove them from the oven and top with the fish mixture.

    Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with dill.
