Steps:

• Dice the tomatoes
• Bring water in a pot to boil, in the meantime prepare the potatoes
• Cut the potatoes to about 1/4-inch thick, toss into the hot water to boil for on high heat for 8 minutes, or until almost soft enough for you to piece through without difficulty. While that boils, prepare the infused oil.
• Heat a saucepan on medium heat then add in the olive oil, toss in the cloves of garlic, and let infuse for about 2 minutes.

• Evenly spread 1/2 of the diced tomatoes, black peppercorns, and parsley over the potatoes. Sprinkle some salt, not too much as you will also salt the fish
• Lay the fish fillet on a kitchen paper towel and press to soak in excess water. Transfer them over the potatoes, lay them side by side, skin side down.
• Top the fish with the leftover: tomatoes, peppercorns, parsley. Pour in the wine and finish by pouring the infused oil evenly over the fish.
• Bake in the middle oven rack, If during the 30 minutes baking the fish looks a little dry, scoop some of the juices settled on the potatoes to drizzle over the fish.
• After 30 minutes, melt a knob of butter over the fish then put it back in the oven for browning. Take it out after 5 minutes.
• Once the fish is out of the oven, squeeze some fresh lemon on it and serve.

• When fish is done take out of the oven and sprinkle with parsley and serve hot with additional slices of lemon.
