Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for tartar sauce)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
- 1 pinch paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper to create a herb marinade.
Place the white fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush both sides with the herb marinade. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, prepare the tartar sauce. In another small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped dill pickle, capers, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced chives, and a pinch of paprika. Mix well until smooth.
Taste the tartar sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the herb baked fish warm with a generous dollop of homemade tartar sauce on the side. Garnish with additional fresh parsley or lemon slices if desired.
