Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the white fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Lightly grease a baking dish with a little olive oil and place the fish fillets in a single layer.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, juice of half a lemon, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the olive oil mixture generously over the fish fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Thinly slice the other half of the lemon and place the slices on top of the fish fillets for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the baked white fish immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
