Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Use a little oil to brush the bottom of a shallow baking dish that can go to the table and is large enough to hold the fish in one piece. Spread potatoes in dish, overlapping, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Step 2
Season flesh side of fish with salt and pepper. Place fish skin side up on the potatoes, sprinkle on remaining oil, scatter olives around and place bay leaves on top. Cover with parchment paper and bake 20 minutes, or until fish is just cooked through at the thickest part (a sharp knife will penetrate easily). Garnish with lemon and serve.

I roasted the potatoes 5 min longer to leave a soccorat on the bottom. This lent a crisp crunch to them. I also put a tbsp of finely chopped garlic between potatoes and fish. Rounded out some missing flavor. Lastly some slices of piquillo pepper alongside the olives just for the fun of it.
I have prepared this twice with delicious results on both occasions. As Striper is sometimes difficult to obtain, I would recommend substituting Sable (Black Cod). It works perfectly.
delicious, cooked this in a cast iron skillet which crisped the potatoes perfectly. Previously I used a glass pan and the potatoes didn't crisp. I used capers instead of olives.
Anyone recognize who makes the cookware pictured here? I would like to expand my cookware. Thanks!
Very good, but I’m not sure it’s better than pan seared striped bass with, say, mango salsa, and this recipe is more work. The potatoes should be seasoned with S&P. I followed the comments and added a layer of onions with garlic and some leftover roasted tomatoes on top of the potatoes which was good.
It's striped bass season on Cape Cod and I was looking for a simple preparation as I enjoy fish as served in Greece. I made according to recipe (1/2 recipe) except I used small Yukon gold potatoes and microwaved them for 2.5 minutes in an Anyway dish and proceeded when they cooled. I only had pitted Kalamata olives on hand as well. Everything was delicious!
