This recipe is a clear reminder of an Italian rule of thumb when cooking fish: never mess with fish! Far too often, when dealing with fish, I see too many Ingredients added to it. Just watch some of the many TV cooking programs and you will recognise the non-confident cook from the amount of Ingredients he/she uses; the more Ingredients used the less confident is the cook! This recipe works very well with whole flat fish and when you buy it, look for turbot (in Italy we call it rombo) or brill, alternatively use a plaice as I did. You can use the same technique to cook turbot (or brill) fillets if you like, but there is nothing more exciting than presenting a whole fish to your guests.

Ingredients
*
1 Kg (2.2 lb) Plaice (whole fish)
*
1 Kg (2.2 lb) Large potatoes
*
75 ml (3 fl oz) Extra virgin olive oil (for the salsa - keep this in a small bowl)
*
60 ml (2 fl oz) Extra virgin olive oil (for brushing - keep this in a glass)
*
A handful of flat leaf parsley (finely chopped)
*
3 Cloves of garlic
*
6 Small sprigs of rosemary
*
Few drops of lemon juice
*
Coarse salt and black ground pepper for seasoning
Note 1: ask your fishmonger to clean the fish (only gut it and leave gills and fins on it), so when you go home you have just to give it a rinse and that\'s it.
Note 2: in the picture above there should be an half lemon that I forgot to put. I apologise for this.
Directions
Step

To start, we prepare the salsa. Chop all the parsley with only one clove of garlic. I used the chopper because I want these chopped as finely as it can get. Next, put the chopped contents into the bowl containing olive and give it a stir.
