Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, lemon zest, orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika. This will serve as your citrus-herb marinade.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush or spoon the citrus-herb marinade generously over each fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
Let the fish fillets marinate for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of your fillets.
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the oven and garnish with a sprinkle of additional fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve the Sunshine Fillets warm, alongside steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh garden salad for a complete and vibrant meal.
