Ingredients
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, toss the halved fingerling potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
- 2While potatoes roast, prepare the herb crust. In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, chopped dill, lemon zest, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well until crumbs are evenly coated.
- 3After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the trimmed asparagus to the baking sheet, tossing with the potatoes. Push the vegetables to one side, creating space for the fish.
- 4Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Place them on the cleared side of the baking sheet. Drizzle the fish with lemon juice, then firmly press the herb breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each fillet.
- 5Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 12-18 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender-crisp. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the fish.
- 6Serve immediately, arranging a fish fillet with roasted asparagus and fingerling potatoes on each plate. A lemon wedge for squeezing is an optional garnish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fish fillets?
Yes, ensure they are fully thawed and patted very dry before applying the crust to prevent a soggy texture. Adjust baking time as needed.
What other vegetables can I use?
Broccoli florets, bell peppers, or green beans would also work well. Ensure they are cut into similar sizes for even roasting and add them to the pan according to their cooking time.
Can I prepare the herb crust ahead of time?
Yes, you can mix the dry ingredients for the crust a day in advance and store them in an airtight container. Add the olive oil and fresh herbs just before use to maintain freshness.
