Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (haddock, cod, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps them cook evenly and prevents sogginess.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, juice and zest of the lemon, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Brush or drizzle the seasoning mixture evenly over the fish fillets, making sure they are well-coated.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with your favorite sides such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
