Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 slices lemon slices (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil and spice mixture evenly over the fish fillets, using a brush or your fingers to coat them well.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the fish moist. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the oven and carefully discard the foil. Garnish the fillets with chopped fresh parsley and serve with optional lemon slices on the side.
Enjoy your Healthy Low Fat Baked Fish with steamed vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad for a wholesome meal!
