Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces whitefish fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large lemon
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet or a shallow baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Pat the whitefish fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the fillets with olive oil, ensuring they are lightly coated on both sides.
Zest half of the lemon and sprinkle the zest evenly over the fillets. Slice the remaining lemon into thin rounds and set aside.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and scatter them over the fillets.
Sprinkle the whitefish with diced fresh parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the reserved lemon slices on top of the fillets for decoration and added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Remove the fish from the oven, let it rest for 2 minutes, and serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
