Method

7 steps Oven 425°F 15 min prep · 30 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss Potato with Olive Oil and half the Salt, then spread cut-side down on a large sheet pan.
Step 2. Roast the wedges, turning once, until browned and tender, about 30 minutes.
Step 3. Meanwhile, whisk Apple Cider Vinegar, Mayonnaise and the rest of the Salt in a bowl. Toss with Coleslaw Mix and set aside.
Step 4. Rub Fish Fillet on both sides with Cajun Seasoning.

Cook

Step 5. When the wedges have about 10 minutes left, melt half the Butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the fish in batches, flipping once and adding the rest of the butter as needed, until opaque and flaky, about 3 minutes per side.
Step 6. Transfer the fish to plates. Add Garlic to the skillet over low heat and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Squeeze in Lemon and stir, scraping up the pan juices.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Spoon the garlic lemon butter over the fish. Serve with the wedges and slaw.

Tips

Swap it

Use thin cod fillets in place of tilapia, allowing extra cooking time if they are thicker.

Good to know

Leave space between the wedges so their cut sides brown instead of steaming.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers promptly and eat within 3 to 4 days; keep the slaw separate from the fish and potatoes.
