Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon lemon, sliced for garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush both sides with the olive oil mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.
Arrange the lemon slices on and around the fish fillets for both garnish and flavor enhancement during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the baked fish from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a salad.
