3. In a bowl, mix well the chopped herbs, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, lemon juice and olive oil.
4. Cut the fish fillet into portions and place in the marinade sauce, so that all the pieces are evenly covered. Leave on for 30 minutes.
5. Peel the potatoes and cut into slices 3-5 mm thick.

7. Stir the potatoes with salt, paprika, cumin and olive oil and place on the bottom of a baking dish.
   Cover the dish with foil and bake the potatoes in an oven heated to 200 degrees for 20 minutes. The baking time depends on the type of potato.
