Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb (905 g) red potatoes or sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) melted Homemade Ghee, plus more for drizzling
  • 2 to 3 pounds (905 g to 1.4 kg) large fillets of firm white fish like cod, halibut, or rockfish
  • 1 lemon, cut into 1/8-inch (3 mm) slices
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme

Method
 

  1. Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  2. 1 Put the potatoes in a 6-quart (5. 7 liter) slow cooker.
  3. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) ghee and sprinkle with 11/4 teaspoons sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Stir well.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 21/2 to 3 hours until the potatoes are mostly cooked through. (Cook for 2 hours if using sweet potatoes.)
  6. 2 Lay a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil twice the size of the fish on a flat work space.
  7. Cut a 2-inch (5 cm) slit in the center of one side.
  8. Place two of the fillets on top of the slit.
  9. Sprinkle liberally with sea salt and a few pinches of black pepper. Lay half of the lemon slices and garlic on the fillets.
  10. Place the other two fillets on top.
  11. Sprinkle those liberally with sea salt, black pepper, and lay the other lemon slices, garlic, and thyme sprigs on top.
  12. Fold the other half of the paper over the fish and, starting on one end, fold and crimp the edges of the paper together until it forms a packet.
  13. 3 Place the packet on top of the potatoes.
  14. Turn the slow cooker on high, cover, and cook for another 45 minutes.
  15. Check the fish for doneness every 15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  16. 4 Transfer the fish and potatoes (with sauces) to serving dishes and sprinkle with parsley.
