Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cook the potatoes in a large pot of salted boiling water until tender.
When cooked drain and leave to cool for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, dry the fish with a piece of paper towel, as it is vital that your fish is dry before oiling and seasoning with sea salt and pepper.
Pre-heat a large non-stick frying pan, then add the fish skin side down.
Cook on a medium heat for 7-8 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden, you should see the fish changing color from red to pink.
Turn the fish over and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
