Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece lemon slices
- 4 sheets parchment paper or aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
In another bowl, combine the parsley, dill, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil on a work surface for each fish fillet.
Brush each fillet with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
Sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the fillets, gently pressing it to adhere.
Place each seasoned fillet in the center of its parchment or foil sheet. Top with a slice of lemon.
Fold the parchment or foil around the fish to create a snug, sealed packet.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the packets from the oven, carefully open them to release steam, and transfer the fish to plates for serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
