Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 medium lemon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Zest the lemon and then juice it. Set the zest and juice aside.
Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Place the fish fillets in a single layer in a baking dish. Use a spoon to drizzle the olive oil and herb mixture evenly over the fish.
Sprinkle the lemon zest over the fish for added flavor.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the fish moist and bake it in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes if you prefer a slightly crispier top.
Serve the baked fish immediately, garnished with additional parsley or dill if desired.
