instructions
    1

    Start by washing the small potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes or until tender. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

    2

    While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the fish fillets by seasoning them with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves (whole) to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until they're fragrant but not browned.

    4

    Carefully place the fish fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

    5

    Once the fish is cooked, add the pre-boiled potatoes to the skillet along with a squeeze of lemon juice and chopped parsley. Gently toss everything to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

    6

    Serve warm with an extra sprinkle of parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
