Servings: 2
Ingredients:
1 large fillet of white-fleshed fish such as cod, hake or flounder
2 cloves garlic, smashed
small handful (5-6) grape tomatoes, halved
Juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil
1 small-medium red onion, sliced
1 bunch parsley, chopped
1 lb potatoes (any kind) chopped in 1–2 inch chunks
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 lb baby or golden turnips (about 2-3), halved or quartered
Equipment:
frying pan
Cooking instruction summary:
Heat a heavy-bottomed covered pan with about a tablespoon of oil and cook the onions over medium-low or low heat until translucent and lightly caramlized, about 6-8 minutes. Clear aside the onions from the center of the pan and add the potatoes and turnips, along with another splash of oil if necessary. When vegetables begin to crisp up, add the tomatoes and smashed garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, for another 2-3 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Once the potatoes are about halfway to becoming fully cooked, place the pieces of fish on top of everything in an even layer, making sure that none touch the bottom of the pan. Squirt with lemon, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover. Let cook for about 10 minutes without opening. Once opened, inspect fish to see if each piece is completely opaque (cooked) rather than translucent (not cooked). Top with remaining lemon juice, parsley and transfer to plates to serve.Cost Calculator1 large turbot fillet (at $7.99 on sale at Whole Foods): $5.001 lb purple potatoes (from Windfall Farms): $1.501/4 lb golden baby turnips (from Windfall Farms): $0.38small handful (5-6) grape tomatoes (at $4/carton): $1.001 red onion: $0.301 bunch parsley: $2.001 lemon: $0.33olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, salt, pepper: $0.30Total: $10.81Health FactorThree brownie points: A solid score, thanks to well-rounded nutrition and minimal yet healthy fats.

The first run of this recipe with hake kept the main protein within state distance, caught in Long Island by Pura Vida Fisheries; though the turbot was US Pacific wild-caught, according to Whole Foods. But the most important thing to consider with fish is perhaps not locality, but its state of endangerment due to overfishing. And it is only from checking in the aftermath on Seafood Watch that I find that Atlantic hake is indeed overfished. Good to know.
