In
a medium saucepan over high heat, bring the potatoes to a boil in
enough salted water to cover them by 1 inch. Reduce the heat to a brisk
simmer and cook until tender but not falling apart, about 5 minutes.
Drain. Set aside.
Pat
the fish dry and season with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Heat
1-1/2 Tbs. of the olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over
medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Sauté shallot in pan until cooked
about 4 minutes. Arrange the fish skin side down in the pan so the
fillets fit without touching. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. Flip the
fillets and cook until the fish is cooked through, an additional 2 to 3
minutes. With a slotted spatula, transfer the fish to a serving platter
or plates.
Add
the remaining 1-1/2 Tbs. oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Add
the potatoes and rosemary and cook, flipping occasionally, until the
potatoes are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the olives, parsley, balsamic,
and a pinch of salt and pepper and stir gently to heat. Arrange the
potato mixture around the fish. Squeeze lemon on fish and potatoes.
Serve garnished with the lemon wedges.
