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
