One dish fish recipe

I know that we should be eating more fish, but it is not one of my favourite foods, although I do like a good fish and chips. This recipe has evolved from Nigel Slater's Greek based fish with some tweaks and additions. It is a really easy recipe and a fish dish that I do actually enjoy. It is not strictly a one-dish recipe as the potatoes need to be steamed first but it all ends up in the same pan which makes the clearing up easy too. This recipe serves 2 but can easily be doubled up. Somehow it feels quite summery.
