Step 1
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Pat fish dry inside and out. Rub skin and cavity with 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon zest, herbs, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Grill fish 6-7 minutes per side until skin is crispy and flesh flakes easily.
Step 4
While fish grills, toss cabbage with remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let sit.
Step 5
Steam spinach over the same pot as potatoes, or wilt in a skillet with 2 tbsp olive oil and salt, 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Plate fish with potatoes, spinach, and cabbage slaw. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything. Serve hot.
