The potatoes were a WOW - garlic really came through. I cut this recipe in half, but reduced the oil to about 2 1/2 tbs., if that. Substituted fresh thyme for the oregano (all I had). The fish was good but a bit bland for our taste - I may use a Greek seasoning mix or something on the fish the next time I do this. Also, my fish was done in about 8 minutes, but the fillets were thinner than indicated. Something you may also need to adjust for. Overall a win.
