Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 large lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons 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.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
Brush the olive oil mixture over the top of each fish fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and lay a few slices on top of each fish fillet.
Sprinkle the fresh dill evenly over the fish fillets.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once done, remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the Lemon Dill Fish Fillets warm with additional lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
