  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1½ lb. Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1½" pieces
2 (12-oz.) jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained
5 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1¼ tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 lb. green beans, preferably haricots verts, trimmed
½ cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
1½ lb. skinless halibut fillets
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest, preferably Meyer
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, preferably Meyer
¼ cup basil leaves (from about ½ bunch)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place a rimmed baking sheet on center rack of oven; preheat to 450°F.

    Step 2

    Toss potatoes, artichokes, 3 Tbsp. oil, ½ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Arrange in an even layer on preheated sheet and roast, tossing once halfway through, until nicely browned, about 18 minutes.

    Step 3

    Toss green beans, olives, 1 Tbsp. oil, and ¼ tsp. salt in same bowl. Season fish on both sides with ½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper, then coat with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil.

    Step 4

    Remove baking sheet from oven and push potatoes and artichokes to one side, taking up about a third of pan. Place fish on another third, then bean mixture on remaining third. Roast until fish is cooked through, about 8 minutes.

    Step 5

    Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, and remaining ¼ tsp. salt and ½ tsp. pepper in a small bowl.

    Step 6

    Flake halibut into pieces and transfer to a platter. Serve with roasted vegetables and sauce alongside. Top with basil.
