Baked Fish with Potatoes - Pesce Arrosto al Forno con Patate

Baked Fish with potatoes is a light dish but tasty at the same time.

Any firm-fleshed fish such as fresh cod, red snapper or thick flounder will do.  

We prefer Fresh Cod.  While it's rich in vitamins and minerals, the calorie count remains low.

Baking dish large enough to accommodate both the fish and the potatoes in one layer
1-1/2 pound fish fillet
3 red potatoes, peeled, and cut into very thin slices
1/4 cup Extra Virgin olive oil
4 or 5 fresh parsley sprigs (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
Sea salt
Black pepper
