Step 1
Cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, ~12 minutes.
Step 2
While potatoes cook, pat fish dry and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Drain potatoes and return to pot. Mash with butter and warm milk until creamy, then fold in scallions.
Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~90 seconds.
Step 5
Sear fish 3 minutes per side without moving. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top during the last 30 seconds.
Step 6
Divide champ between two plates, top with fish, and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
