Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-6 oz each) Fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or salmon)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 whole (juiced) Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the broiler in your oven to high and position the oven rack about 4-6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Brush the marinade generously over the fish fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the fish from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
