Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Toss together potatoes, olive oil, 2 tablespoons Herbs de Provence, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper on prepared baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven until potatoes are golden around the edges and nearly tender, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mash butter, mustard, remaining 2 teaspoons Herbs de Provence, and 1 teaspoon salt together with a fork in a small bowl. Arrange fish, flesh side up, season with salt and pepper and spread butter mixture evenly on fish.
- Flip potatoes and arrange around the edges of pan to accommodate fish. Add fish to baking sheet, flesh side up, and roast at 375 F until fish is opaque and flaky and potatoes are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Cooking note: Herbs de Provence, a blend of spices including lavender, thyme and fennel, is a classic ingredient from the Provence region of France.
