Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease the sheet with cooking spray.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Brush the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each fish fillet, ensuring that the fillets are fully coated.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with optional lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finishing touch. Pair with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
