Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) white fish fillets (cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish or sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the white fish fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place the fillets in a single layer on the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
Brush the olive oil and lemon mixture over the fish fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly over the fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 140–145°F (60–62°C).
Once done, remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for added freshness.
Serve the baked white fish with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of citrus flavor. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a light salad for a complete meal.
