Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine parsley, cilantro, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, sea salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Blend until you have a smooth, vibrant green marinade.
Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Generously coat both sides of the fillets with the green marinade, ensuring even coverage.
Let the fillets rest for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the fish for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the green roasted fish fillets with lemon wedges on the side. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
