Preheat oven to 250°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stir together potato, horseradish, mayo, shallots, lemon zest, chives, salt, and pepper.
Season fish with salt and pepper. Pat a thick layer of crust mixture on each fillet.
Generously grease a large sauté pan with evoo and place over medium-high heat.
Place fillets, crust-side down, in the pan and brown for 3 to 5 minutes. Don't touch or move them until the crust starts to turn golden-brown ad caramelized around the edges.
Once browned, remove fish and transfer to prepared pan.
Before serving, cook fish in a 250°F oven for 30 minutes.
Chef's tip: slow roasting fish allows the natural fats in the fish to melt and baste the fish. This will yield a really juicy and moist fillet. You can also pre-cook fish and just gently warm it before serving. a thick fillet will not dry out if heated very gently.
Garnish with chive oil (recipe below).
