Firstly, i preheated theoven to 220*C. I then got the baking tray that i used last week and put it in the oven for about 10 minutes just to heat it up. As this was happening, i took all the potatoes i needed (about 1kg) and sliced them up nice and thinly. At first i found this difficult, as i couldn't get each slice the same width, but eventually i figured out how to do it. It was important to try and get each individual potato slice about the same width, as if one was thicker than another it would take longer to cook, and then by the end each slice would be cooked differently. Once this was done (it actually took quite some time), i placed all of the slices onto a baking paper which was on top of the heated baking tray. I then sprayed the top of the potatoes with olive oil (using the handy sprayer), sprinkled some salt on top 
and put it all back into the oven. I then let this bake for about 20 minutes. I then took my fish fillets (200g per fillet of some type of white fish) and sprinkled them with lemon zest (which i had to grate) and some salt and pepper. 
Once the potatoes were done i added the fish to the tray onto the top of the potatoes and put it back into the oven for another 10 minutes or so (basically until the fish was just cooked through). This was the part that i found the hardest, cos i didn't really know when the fish was cooked through, so i had to keep asking my mom whether it was done or not. Over time, if i continue to cook this dish, i will slowly learn when it would be ready; it all comes with experience i guess.

In this salad i added a bit of nice cucumber which i found in the fridge and my mom said i could use. The cucumbers i first had to peel, and then i cut it thinly (and to about the same size).
