Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 whole zest of lemon
- 1 whole zest of lime
- 1 whole thinly sliced lemon, for garnish
- 1 whole thinly sliced lime, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Brush the olive oil mixture generously over both sides of the fish fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Sprinkle the lemon and lime zests evenly over the fish for a vibrant citrus flavor.
Garnish each fillet with a slice of lemon and lime on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
Remove from the oven and let the fish rest for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the baked fish for a fresh herbaceous finish.
Serve immediately with optional side dishes like roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a crisp green salad. Enjoy your Fresh Baked Fish Spritz!
