Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of each fish fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each fillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
