Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) White fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small Shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large Lemon, juice and zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Capers, rinsed and drained (optional)
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine the white wine, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped shallot, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the fish fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Transfer the marinated fish fillets to a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are surrounded by the flavorful liquid.
If using capers, sprinkle them evenly over the fish.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the fish rest for 2-3 minutes. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley and a wedge of lemon before serving.
Serve warm with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
