Make
- Preheat oven to 500F (260C) degrees
- If you're making tomorrow night's meal, make both nights worth of quinoa tonight (2 cups (472 ml) quinoa + 3 1/2 cups (823 ml) of water). If not, just combine tonight's portion with 1 3/4 cups (411 ml) of water. Add in a generous dash of salt. Bring to a boil covered. Lower heat, keep covered, and cook until liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes
- Place potatoes on a sheet pan and cover tightly with foil. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes
- Remove foil from potatoes and toss with olive oil and as much salt and pepper as you want. Turn them to cut-side down for extra browning. Roast in the oven for another 10 minutes
- Place fish on sheet pans. Sprinkle with salt & pepper and roast in the same oven with potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes
- Enjoy entire meal with avocado chimichurri (remember to save half for tomorrow night's meal!). Serve fish with extra lime wedges and capers
