Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse and pat dry the white fish fillets with paper towels.
Place the fish fillets in a single layer in a baking dish lightly greased with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Juice the lemon and set aside. Then, slice the remaining lemon half into thin rounds.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, finely minced garlic, and black pepper.
Chop the fresh parsley, dill, and basil, and add them to the lemon juice mixture, stirring well to combine.
Drizzle the lemon-herb mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
Arrange the lemon slices on top of the fish.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful Low Sodium Baked Lemon Herb White Fish!
