Instructions

Boil halved baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (10-12 minutes). Drain and toss with olive oil, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Pat dry the fish fillets using paper towels. Season each side with garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook each fillet for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they become golden brown and flaky. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top while they are still hot.
In a mixing bowl, combine mixed greens, diced cucumber, sliced carrot, chopped onion, and optional feta cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), then toss gently. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Arrange the pan-seared fish fillets alongside the herbed potatoes on a plate. Add a generous portion of salad next to them. Garnish with a lemon wedge for an extra touch of zest.
