🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or halibut)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the fish fillets in a single layer.

2. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish.

3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, salt, black pepper, and paprika to make the marinade.

4. Pour the marinade evenly over the fish fillets, making sure each piece is well-coated. Let the fish marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.

5. Sprinkle the orange zest and lemon zest over the top of the fish fillets for extra citrus flavor.

6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the fish for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

7. Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

8. Serve the Sunshine Fish with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad to complete the meal.
