Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet and brush them generously with the marinade on both sides.
Sprinkle orange zest, fresh parsley, and fresh dill evenly over the fillets.
Bake the fish for 18-20 minutes, or until the flesh becomes opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for a minute before serving.
Transfer the fish to serving plates and garnish with additional parsley or dill, if desired.
Serve warm with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad to complete the meal.
