Potato-Crusted Fish with Provence Spices
shredded potatoes (if shredding, use russets or         Yukon Golds; or purchase in your grocery's         
  freezer section as southern-style home fries)
filet of fish (tilapia, salmon, cod, trout, perch or any    filet no thicker than 1/2 inch)
Fusion Provence
salt
pepper
olive oil
butter
If you are shredding the potatoes from whole, wrap the shreds in a clean tea towel and squeeze as much water as possible from them.  Season fish with a generous sprinkling of Fusion Provence as well as salt and pepper.  In a skillet over medium heat, add equal parts olive oil and butter.  When the fat is melted and bubbly, make a bed of potatoes in the pan--as large as the fish filet that will top them--and place one fish filet on the potatoes; repeat as needed.  Cook until potatoes are a light-golden brown crust and remove the filet-potato pile from the pan.  If needed, add a little more fat to the pan then make another pile of potatoes; place the filet-potato pile fish-side-down on the new potato pile and, again, cook until golden brown.  Serve with roasted asparagus.
