Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillet (such as cod, tilapia, or salmon)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 slices Lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. This mixture will serve as the marinade.
Brush the marinade generously over the fish fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Once cooked, remove the fish from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for added flavor.
Garnish with lemon slices and serve hot alongside your favorite side dishes, such as steamed veggies, rice, or a fresh salad.
