Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., tilapia, cod, or haddock)
- 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 (optional, for color and flavor)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Lightly grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the fish fillets in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).
Brush or spoon the mixture evenly over the fish fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the fish rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish the fish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
