Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Zest the lemon and then cut it in half. Set the zest aside and juice the lemon, keeping the juice separate.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Chop the fresh parsley and measure the fresh thyme.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Place the white fish fillets in a baking dish. Pour the lemon herb mixture over the fillets, ensuring they are well covered.
Cover the baking dish with foil and let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
Remove the marinated fish from the refrigerator and place it in the preheated oven. Bake, covered, for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the fish hot, garnished with extra parsley and lemon slices if desired.
